Sunrise,
15 February 2018
This
morning I witness
the
sun pouring through my window,
the
view across the mountains
hazy
mists arising, as earth is waking up
bless
the sun who wakes us
warms
us, bless the earth
rotating
in her seasons
the
moon dancing in her phases
the
universe of stars and planets
unhidden
in the night
as
long as we nurture
this
grace
we
have no
need
of gods of myths
of
magic, or of man
shades
of self-important vanity
the
stories poetry
as
long as we nurture
this
beautiful gift of life
of
earth, sun, moon and stars
of
plants, and animals
of
creatures crawling, swimming
flying,
walking grace
always
the gift of moonshine
the
sunbeam on our face
of
rains, and winds and savage earth
we
shall be granted grace
to
live in peace and harmony
each
one a giving god, in our rightful place
