Dawn Two - 44 Sunrises

Just before you made your morning ascent…

I was snoozing on the couch

with the cat

but then something shifted, 

and I knew

 it was time to go out

and greet the new day


Maybe it was the way the breeze changed its sound, 

our how the bird songs increased


Slipping from the house I saw 

your rays
Peaking thru soft clouds
Rising over the ancient stones.

The Ground is parched from August’s heat and this mornings clouds

are a welcome sign, 
that soon moisture will return to the land.

I am standing here in awe at your magnificence ... Just grateful to be alive.

There is no going back in time

rather always the invitation 

To be in the great presence of the impressions foot-printed in time

In this soft dawn light, I marvel at the beauty, 
My eyes and heart drawn across the land

to the ancient settlement below and the old goddess temple just below. 


The ancients are lingering on the veil, 

Whispering secrets.

You hide your face in morning clouds, a few tremendous rays 

peeking  through reminding me of the heat to come. 


With splendor

Your dance in the sky 

for tells

change ... and I must move forward...

alive in the listening to the signs this New Day brings. 

May we all keep humming with creation, 

reminding us we have the choice to discover and create

better ways of living on this our Sacred Earth.
