You can't have everything. Where would you put it. ~ Steven Wright

 A Tribute to Antonio Machado

This morning as
I was waking
I saw

• wonderful sight -
  that a dawn was
  breaking out in the sky
  I said from which
  hidden source
  Oh light
  are you coming to me
  Light of a new day that I
  have never seen

This morning as
I was waking
I saw

• wonderful sight -
  that a bird was singing
  here in my garden
  And the joyful song was
  filling the air with music
  and harmony from
  my old silence

This morning as
I was waking
I saw

• wonderful sight -
  that a flower
  was blooming here
  in my soul
  It was fragrant because
  I smelled sweetness
  as from a rose and
  flower because it gave
  beauty and brought joy
  to my eyes

This morning as
I woke
I saw

• wonderful sight -
  that it was love I had
  here in my heart
