Morning

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

Rising early hoping
I will catch her
removing her garments of black
stripping away revealing
pink purple colored bruising
caused by eternal nights of pain
Slowly she pulls away her sheets of gray
I catch glimpses of her skin
brilliant light colored white
she does this all unaware I am watching
or not caring
I am an interloper on beauty
watching absorbed by the grace
as she shows her splendor
a private viewing for the eyes of
any and all mankind
if they care to watch
to catch her as she rises

The essence of truth can only be found in flesh. A life well-lived leaves bruises, it is in the way that we deal with the bruises that we are judged. Really powerful verse.
