Sunday Prayer
at sunrise, a delicate film of low mist
feathers the grass plain
and camphor-laurel stand
an occasional treetop
appears as an island
amidst the gentle soft-air sea
the purple pink tinge of heaven
and deep-green night shadow
as must, retreat to make way
for this, a Sunday prayer on
peacefulness, and for what
is luminous in things
