Breaking the Day

Start with a clean slate
spoke the muse.
Be elegant in the fresh of morning.
(Even the leaves know it is spring.
They flourish.)

Sitting by the waters
of a calm lake,
the mind strengthens,
the ego is displaced.

Oh sanity,
Have you gone into hiding?

Past is a pathology
best left on the doorstep
like a foundling.

Hurry on,
breaking the day.
