In the early morning
picking up the newspaper
set on the table inside,
walking across the foyer
swept clean of yesterday
to the elevator carrying
awakening staff to work ~
each human heart
filled with passion to
shelter and care for
those unable to
shelter and care for themselves ~
even when arms and legs feel
heavy and stiff with early morning.
“They know these mornings well and love them desperately because
they cannot last - these people who know that nothing lasts.”
~ Peter S. Beagle, A Fine and Private Place
