DAWN

In this lean poem, with its few and carefully chosen details, Bruce captures the feeling of a new day dawning. His recognition of majesty in both the “great” and the “ordinary” is found here and throughout his art and poetry.

DAWN

Radiance of dawn

—

Sky of purest fawn

—

Heavens devoted

—

To the announcement

—

Of

—

A New day!

—

A bird

—

A distant
TRain whistle

—

Four plovers . .

—

Capturing
Seeds . . . . .

—

from the road . . . .

—

One car . . .

—

Coming
Down

—

The road

—

One
Listless
DRiver . .

—

A new day

—

A
Shiny
Silver dollar

—

Of
A
Day!
