Morning Light

Morning Light Step forth this day Past the yellow fig leaves Enormous and bright at their fall - Past the tall pines Letting down the early sun. Before you turn to go, look back At the leaves in the golden light. You too are in sight of the fall, Holding on each day in the dim chamber G-d has given you. Soon,very soon He will take you out, And for the first time in years That will not matter, The early light of morning Will gild your inner world As - always - it has graced your outer.
