Enlightenment

Between earth and sky. My being dwells.
A greater spirit guides 

My bare feet dig into the dew soaked grass
Cool blades grasped between calloused toes

I lift my face, in awe of the luminescent creation
Rising from the east, hues of orange and blue

Early morning peace, birds sing in the glory
Rays of light grow stronger, blinding
Mustn’t look away.

This is now. This is my place in the world.
My being dwells. Between earth and sky.
