If I Awoke
Don Hynes
July 12, 2015
If I awoke before light,
before bird call
and waves beating,
if I got up so early
there was only me and you
the only two awake
in the whole wide world,
while islands slept
and we watched the sun
break into the sky
with the radiance of a star,
we would know our place
in the arms of the earth
all of it open
unmarked and ancient,
that would be the morning.
