Dawn

Flames of light are licking the horizon

The wind nudges my ribs

“Wake UP!

Sweep the crusties out of your eyes

Wipe away the sleepy tears.

You’re gonna want to see this.”

Could it be?

That I wasn’t crazy?

That my tornados of faith and

Hurricanes of trust

Did more than tear down “was”?

Sly and grinning,

Their chaos might have planted my dreams right

Where I would trip over them

Just when I was least expecting it

Purple night still sparkles around me

Still

Quiet the dew falls

Sinking into my thirsty lips

Bringing news

That the dark

Cold

Dry

Bones of night

Are yielding

Making way

For my heart to resound once again

My veins to flow with a joyful river

Of love

A song I’ve never heard is echoing

Through the stars

I’m made of
