Will There Really Be A "Morning"? 101, by Emily Dickinson

Watching the light appearing behind the mountains during our recent stay at Purisima for the Mexico Viniyoga Retreat, I remembered this poem, by my beloved Emily Dickinson.

101

Will there really be a "Morning"?

Is there such a thing as "Day"?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like Water lilies?

Has it feathers like a Bird?

Is it brought from famous countries

Of which I have never heard?

Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!

Oh some Wise Men from the skies!

Please to tell a little Pilgrim

Where the place called "Morning" lies!
