Soft Light Dark Interior

Morning grace blessed 
Opening of flowers and throats
Sweet tinges of loving awakening 
A hero call heard in the mind of man
Wheels tumbling to reach their spot
Competition, aggression, pushing, phallic 
The soft light caresses all dark interiors 
As metal clangs cement 
As graves are posted and slagged

Deep within the murky interior 
Sea water holds molten organs 
Primordial brine dazzled with nebula 
New growth forever and ever
As intelligent light blesses water with form 
All forms eat one another 
And carry out their inevitable march

Just today, a flimsy lid collapses
Sky is born in the belly 
Honesty baptizes the heart
