Deterge the Surface

J-anuary thirtieth morn
H-as broken early Monday; 
E-vening shadows disappear; 
R-aindrops stay away.
M-isty Sunday airway
I-s nowhere in sight; 
E-ven the haze is gone into the blackest night.

A-nother birth has come, 
N-ew dawn sets things aright; 
T-he beacon has risen, 
O-pening the day with light.
L-et the dirt and grime fade
I-nto the deepest darkness; 
N-ow is the time to wash off and deterge the surface.
