Claude Monet, "Impression, Sunrise" 1872
Listen carefully to light and water
Watch the methodical patience of time
The tidal catechism grows warmer
As the dawn deglazes the ocean’s rhyme
Be the sun’s patient amanuensis
Encode everything that it now reveals
By negotiating a consensus
Between your eyes and how that shadow feels
Let your mind swim naked through the chanting
Of waves as they exasperate the shore
Become the cartographer of flowing
Sensations whose causes are no more
Stretch the canvas of your consciousness taut
Let the eulogy of morning be wrought
