First Line: Low laughter of light
Last Line: That spans the sky.
Subject(s): Memory; Sea; Time; Ocean
Low laughter of light
In gleaming sky
Dawns over deeps
Of memory.
If I could listen
I should hear,
If I could look,
I should see
The moving waves
Of soundless sea.
But eyes blind me,
Thoughts bind me,
Time ties me,
I turn away.
It was I who laughed
And I was the day,
The tremor of joy
And the arch of light
That spans the sky.
