I was a Morning, once
With windows in my eyes
The sun came spilling quietly
And filled me with surprise
And breathing felt like wonder then
And living felt like air
I did not know I had a life
I only knew I was there
The voices started soft and low
Then grew to crowd the light
They told me what my glow should be
Until it dimmed from sight
My laughter learned to quiet down
My wonder learned to wait
The world that once was endless wide
Began to narrow into fate
And something in my windows changed
No sudden break or cry
But like a curtain drawn too soon
Across a morning sky
And now when light returns to me
It lingers at the door
As if it knows the child who shone
Is living here no more
