Each day now

All I saw was bathed in light - 

Made wonderful and strange - 

The calm water touched the empty shore -

There was one leaf on a bare tree -

The pale blue sky was cloudless -

Stillness fell from heaven -

I saw all my years in the clear icy air -

My name written in scattered shells -

Each day now the edge of the world came nearer - 

The stillness deeper, the light more radiant -
