Awake

Roberto Suárez Torres 1983 (New York)

Free verse
Awake as appears on the lush grass dew,
Silent like the earth throbbing with growth
In a broad way where shadows flee;
Forth brave and be to a sword
And cut through murky fog;
Turn handles of locks
Firm like pillars.
Wings of doves
Soaring
Far!

    I love the visual composition of the poem as well as the images, culminating in the final, uplifting word.
