A flight from dark night

A runner starts up across hope

Finishes anew …

I woke

A morning pulls me to go out of doors

And stand among the cosmos

To allow the lights to christen

Into promise, will I be witness?

God is listening,

The universe displays his breath.

Shhh, it says,

Pray.

A full moon dominates

Dawn quietly hangs stars near by

Celestial beauty

As a writer sees

A book in front of me

I pour into emptiness

Let me wash my face with the morning dew

Dress my soul with the songs of birds

Pick the dawn with the hopes anew

Walk among the crickets I’ve heard

And take with me a symphony

Given by the hooting owl

Live again another day

And dry my feet with Nature’s towel
