The 50th Morning

In their warm bodies,
young people would not know
knowing if it were
fish in shallow water.

Often, they don't appreciate
rain or the mechanism of feathers
or seldom tolerate grief. Again,
I look at the fiftieth morning,

the weight of meditation,
the glorious gold corrosion
of sun and like a lover
still feel blooming.
