Sunrise Lament (For Mom)

by

Diane Klammer

Every day I greet the sunrise
I draw your name
In the morning sky
With giant cloud brushes

Each day I scrawl one color
Of the rainbow
Dawn after dawn

In turn the horizon
Has blushed crimson
Burned orange
Hung silver
Pulsed purple

Only to dissipate
As the rising sun
Burns through each melting attempt

I cannot find you
You are scattered
Elsewhere in the universe

Alone I contemplate its origins
The space
You occupy in it

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Religious Poets of all Nations
