There was an amazing tree
in our garden last week.
I don't know where it came from!
Out of gathering dusk I suspect,
it gathered each beam and glow
of light up into its canopy,
sure and bright
by warming degrees
of dusky gold,
and oranges limned
each branch and limb,
and rose bloomed forth
as the sun unrose -
from all of the light
it had kept within.
It vanished, of course.
Such trees always do.
But I bet if I catch
the garden awares
this evening or next,
by late afternoons
stretching out by degrees,
I'll find it there.

but aren't they all random?
