look for its glow
in the corner you had forgotten
Sarah Crossan
tomorrow is beautiful
from her anthology
Tomorrow Is Beautiful
Imagine there being a 'corner you had forgotten' in your life, and it's having something to do with your ability to see something beautiful in past, present and future. A corner. Who, or what, or where, or when might that be - the turn taken that shines a light upon, that is warm embrace, a connection to your everything?
Don't worry if the answer doesn't immediately leap to appear before your eyes. The question, the invitation, remains. This is part of the gift and the point of poetry - and the particular magic of an easily portable collection like this one. A word or two, a phrase, a sentence maybe, or a stanza, take root in the rich soil of you - quietly, patiently. There will be a right time - and a recognition. The answer will come:
look for its glow
in the corner you had forgotten
