A Morning Moment

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The maiden who milk morning dew,
my innocent dream of woman hood,
woke me up again.

The light is as before,
the coffee aroma, the same after a night of medicine
and restless distress.

There’s a scent of clean rain in the air good,
let it wash dark thoughts
and ancient rancour away.

Regrets?
Wish I had loved the world more
and not harboured bitterness against my frailty.
