Morning of Optimism

MORNING OF OPTIMISM A blue pigment covers the heavens hope spreading like a giant reed mat to infinite ends Day ahead promising something new like Indian merchant ships of 1570 The atmosphere is dense with optimism Morning metallurgy separating our fears from hope The morning is good. Saints wake up kneeling besides the bed offering sacred prayers Still waters become misty waters on which prayers of the day waver on Workers make haste in bodies covered with blue work suits CEOs pat their bellies and thicken their voices in preparation for meetings to come Children of the streets stand barefoot perceiving the chocolates that are to come home in the evening Dogs pop their heads out of their kennels trying to get a glimpse of hope The sun smiles while rising like the flag in 1980 The wind sings a joyful song of hope The street poet takes a celestial gaze at the streets the sweet scent of morning telling stories of optimism STREETPO3TRY
