As the Rising Sun
As the dawn of a new day,
revealed by the bright countenance
of the rising sun,
made bare by the parting heavenly blanket
As the certainty of the new day, made naked,
by the fleeting timid terrestrial curtain of night
So let the sapphire desire to do good,
to lift the spirit of others, be revealed,
in our eternal treasury
Let it shine through,
dispelling the mist of apathy;
the tunnel vision of self-absorption
(Dedicated to Dan Williams)
