Eight Am

Morning light, 
pulsing across a screen
like the live thing it is, 
tells us come in from darkness, 
O mortal, and into the im-
mortal, as leaves 
transposed in it 
thrust forth veins, 
call to their trees 
to grow tall.

Morning light, a "living thing." Yes, and the trees and the fall wind - EVERYTHING! But best experience it outdoors. Love, Dave
