Mercy Within WithoutA Poem by Kathy Van Kurinsoul response to night inspiration- beautyMercy Within Without Kathy Van Kurin It is a lifting of spirit,
every bank of slightest breath leading into glowing amber twilight extended. While slightest deep shadows
barely realized are now coalesced within afternoon brightness. It is lake’s glass surface
twinkling with glory, Unmitigated patience inhales to exhale pulsing life. Sunny winds touch and twirl,
teasing every back lit leaf into undulating prisms as if green glass glowing. Come mercy’s winds. I feel
your coolness rousing in every leaf and twig rustling their message. It is Song birds round, calling and repeat, a response of silver voiced ring, meeting to begin again. Twilight arrives in gentleness and slowly, slowly absorbs and is absorbed by
early night’s presence. Mercy is in every revolution
to completion: Twirling its life force, a gift given, seen, embraced. Seconds glimmer into
minutes, into hours. Waters of memories accumulate, swirling life’s well. Come mercy’s winds. I feel your
coolness rousing. Then the stillness of peace lies cozy all around. A great gentle rustling of
leaves through cottonwood marsh brings humble tears of beauty to my vision. The message reveals itself
to my ears and mercy’s winds swirl in witness of grace against my soul. Our hearts beat. We cry and
smile and toil in mercy. Long golden fingers of late
afternoon reach for evening. An amber
cast shade of night is lowered. Slowly many pinpricks of
woven stars glitter and shine through above ebony blanket. Layer upon Layer of heaven Pulsing lights come forth
one by one as if a field of signal fires within a warrior host’s encampment. Mercy rides the skies full
of twinkling constellations of timeless creatures and legends through the ages
now revealed to my eyes As time flies by in mercy. © 2024 Kathy Van KurinAuthor's Note
