XVI. IN MY HEART AT DAWN In my heart at dawn you are the awakening sun, and I rise to greet you, to speak with the light. As I move through the day you are with me, whispering to me like drifting clouds. In my soul at noon you are the radiant light, warming me to the root with Spring's pleasure. Like the idle trees with their green buds, I await the full proclamation of burgeoning leaves. In my mind at dusk you are the infinite memory of ecstasy made slow, of the world become a room. The birds call and call and only your murmured answer comes back to them. In my dreams at midnight you are the willowy figure who waits for me at the lush center. I move towards you in an uprush of feeling and together we melt into amorous light again.
