This has been a favorite poem on mine for quite a while. I just love the last two lines.


Morning


By Jason Shinder.

There are stones on the beach
I should have guessed

were birds blown away from the rest.

They are speckled with white and gray and green
as if a painter overpainted.

If you ask me anything about it,

I will go on telling you the same thing --
to be in love is like going outside

to see what kind of day it is.


It's found in a book called Among Women and is published by Graywolf Press.
