In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to offer daily poetry during April.
bright cry
light of searing magnitude
crosses unmarked borders
into this here and now
the eye of my emotions
still dilates to darkness
unfamiliar to illumination
what mirrors are these
strewn over all of nature
shards of my tears
shimmer atop waves
and shine from every leaf
bent to breeze
i am the brightness
of this day
it is my cry
