Slender perceptions, faintly hinted, <br />resonated in me all day; <br />visits of life beyond <br />those I am used to. <br /> <br />I did not notice them <br />until they reached out <br />calling to me, and then I saw them! <br />Stars shimmering <br />through the dark sunshine of the day. <br /> <br />A delta of light rose upwards <br />(even though I was hardly aware) <br />cumulus branches <br />on the tree of life <br />billowed up to a great height <br />(beyond my feeble attention) . <br /> <br />And then, in the indigo vault of heaven, stars! <br />Sublime glowing stars! A singing constellation <br />flowering on a vast tree touching the sky. <br /> <br />Another day is there. <br />A holy land where I live <br />augmented by you, my love, <br />with no form but <br />completely awake, <br />calling here, calling, <br />to an exile in a strange land. <br /> <br />Your message has rung my heart <br />all the long day!<br /><br />Ian Trousdell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/awareness-your-message-has-rung-my-heart/
