My View Was Best
Catherine Turk
My view was definitely best this morning.
From the train I saw the slightest shade of pink
Against tree silhouettes and graying skies
As the pink gave way to orange,
A river soon made its presence known
Winding by the side of the train,
Two moving blades of grass cutting through the mountains
Side by side, curving together.
And then the sun broke through the top peaks and mist rose from the meadow
Creating golden haze on the green field
And in my lap, your golden head on me,
And I thought
You, peacefully sleeping, is the best thing to look at.
