Sunrise
With its silent magic sunrise
Takes the whole sky…
Not by storm,
Not by surprise,
In an unfolding magnificent swirl
Of scarlets and birds’ songs.
Sweeping sleepdust away
From under our rugs.
All is aligned to light,
All space is filled.
And every petal, every stalk of grass,
And every tree trunk leans
Slightly towards the golden rays…
The horses who pretend to be aloof
And only busy with their morning munch,
And multicoloured clouds over distant hills
Beat their drums and frown, spilling rain
Will fool no one
Into not hearing the melody of sunrise,
Into not feeling of this loving tremor of life.
