Daylight Still

 

You'll whisper to yourself
     "It's daylight still".


You'll have in mind a white-barked tree
     with no breeze for the leaves.


You'll pull yourself from the mire:
     your achievement defined.


The tree before the one before
and the one that stood before that,
all one radiating melancholy.


Twilight flight through pain and dangers
O, soar! Invigorate spent emotion.
