As Tomorrow Becomes Today

Perfect sincerity and transparency make a great part of beauty, as in dewdrops, lakes, and diamonds. - Thoreau

as nature's gospel licks its fingers and turns the page

athirst for ever more

an ariose dawn is ushered 'pon aquiline wishes

its promises aphonic

faith's eternity aurified in glory

quietude has little to say

last night's dandy dew glistening in dripping reluctance

as tomorrow becomes today

Author's Note

"But the impressions which the morning makes vanish with its dews, and not even the most "persevering mortal" can preserve the memory of its freshness to midday." - Thoreau
