Aware

--by James Harvey Stout

A living stillness settles
In the room where I am sitting.
And from my pen appears
The poem already written.
 
Like fallen rains that realize
They're in a river flowing,
My mind silently agrees
To things it has been knowing.
 
The dawn casts a sunrise
On worlds already there,
In the light
Where my eyes become aware.
 
I speak of things
Of which I'm only learning.
I'm a person in the world
Who finds the world is turning.
 
My lyrics appear in the night
And then I find their meaning.
They remind me of a song
I'm already singing.
 
The dawn casts a sunrise
On worlds already there,
In the light
Where my eyes become aware.
