"Hey!!" shouts the morning, "Hey! Wake Up!! The World is Happening! Be Busy!"
"Sshhhh" says the mist, which melted my dreams and all my certainties,
through th eunampped territory and vast expanses of the long night.
"Play!" calls the Sun, from a solar station beyond a crazy cloud!
"Slowly, softly ......." whispers the moody mist.
" Sun, your rays this morning do not warm me, I am to far removed...
absent. there is no warmth in bones or muscles, no strength in
weary heart. no inspiration. I am wanting needing only to
fold myself in comfortable blankets of oblivion."
"Be Present!!" insists Sun. "This is a new day, this is a moment!
Dance! Dance!" calls out the Sun, the bossy brilliant bastard.
too bright, eyes hurt, too brilliant, mind closed down, heart in retreat.
this is a moment of mystery, a blank of peace, a blank.
"Come On!" urges Sun-Sun, swinging boldly into the sky. Crash!!
Wind shows up like sun in boisterous mood, blasts brain...
"Gently!!" mutters mist, "Wind, you so sudden so abrupt! Sun you so Solar, so Alpha, so insistent!"
"Bloody ingratitude!" snarls the Sun, getting all hot and bothered and
bounces off to put the heat on somewhere else.....
"Dance!!" whispers the mist of moody magic... and I sway slowly, gently,
letting the swirls teach me a new rhythm. taking one lyrical step and
another.... in tune to the music of this morning,
"Well, it's a start, I guess!" yells the sun, a bit beyond it, horizon wise.
I move quiet through the sahdows and mists of the day and find
soft breeze and gentle sunlight filtered through a protective mist.
