Owning the World - Fran Claggett-Holland

[Larry Robinson]

Owning the World
 
Whatever room she was in 
she claimed as her own
Hands full of daffodils 
​pulled wildly in the joy
​of taking all color into her world
Owning the world
​owning the living which is equal
​to owning the morning sky
when all the stars have disappeared
​into the sun and dreams emerged
​from that formidable light
Draw light.
Draw living.
Draw death.
What color is the sun when it is sleeping,
What color the earth where she is walking.
What sound echoes in this hallowed place
​giving voice to the living
​​and color to the dead.
 
​​Fran Claggett-Holland
