Morning Song


Photograph by Elliot Madriss


MORNING SONG


The red dawn now
is rearranging the earth

Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty

Each sunrise a link in the ladder

Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty

The ladder the backbone
Of shimmering deity

Thought by thought
Beauty by beauty

Child stirring in the web of your mother
Do not be afraid

Old man turning to walk through the door
Do not be afraid
