Day dawns

I think over again my small adventures, my fears, those small ones that seemed so big, all those vital things I had to get and to reach, and yet there is only one great thing: to live and see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world."

there is a moment

when nothing else matters

not house or cars

titles or incomes

there is a time

when nothing else matters

not degrees

nor accomplishments

when I walk into the early morning

and hear the borning cry of all creation

the hoot of the owl

and the screech of the hawk

When the sun crests the horizon

and all creation rejoices

in a blaze of yellow and orange

nothing matters

except the light

and the new day

this is the day

to rejoice and be glad

this is the day

to live and love

this is

the

day

and so too

sacred awakens in my soul

and nothing matters

except the light

and this moment

grace
