the morning sun 

breaks through clouds

shining on the tree

bringing to life 

the tree

leaves bright in the sun

some more in shadow

the clarity so pronounced

i am amazed

.

i seek a word

the perfect word

an endless quest

when there is no word

no way to conceive

let alone capture

in a finite definition

all that is in this moment

.

i seek a word

a perfect expression

of the experience

of this moment

and in doing so

i lose myself

in my mind

and the moment passes
