A Moment

Morning comes over the roof. Beams of energy traveling the annals of time A relentless journey to rest upon my face. Subtle at first, like the sly fox in pursuit of the hen Heat builds that burns the dew of a new day Flowers stretch out their pastel arms Picking atoms like pollen that stimulates the pistil Refreshed, shaking off nights cool grasp I am new, reborn, never to be heard or seen again Like a child gleefully sliding down the snowy mountain A grain has slipped thru its lustful form Looking up, showered in kin Reunited with deceased ancestors, death is accepted Hark, in the distance where the sky meets earth The soft glow of love breaks!
