SONNET FOR THE MOUNTAIN

My screams have pierced
The silken, nigrescent night
To reach another dawn,
Another hidden miracle.

The organization of
Doubt and redoubt,
Singling out the yes
From no. I do not presume.

My screams have pierced
The lucid, perspicuous day:
The rocks reflected the clouds
And tripped their passing shadows.

They echoed from the sun
And the mountain sang.
