By Dawn's Early Light



Awaken to the sound of silence
enveloping dull brown fields, natal
with the green down of next Fall’s harvest.


A lemon orb breaks over the black
skeletons of leafless hardwood trees.
The sky waters silk a thousand shades
                                                           orcherous
                                                                   amesthyine
                                                                             sanguine.
And in that single moment,
more significant than the day itself,
you are gifted with Knowing…
                      and your cup overflows.
