filling the spider cracks...
In the clear echo of the faint morning song of sun
the child in the pale dawn does listen
until the night does split from day
sun rays rise to pulverize
and a small shuttle-cock floats with bright feathers
erasing all remnants of the dark to fly into yesterday
as the child sits in the sparkled dew of day
watching the level field ribbon into the distance
as each spider crack of night is soaked through
with sunshine of this soaring new day
all sparkling as dew drops in the strands of the universal
web connecting each blade of grass, each butterfly rising
into the triumphant morning song of sun
blazing, singing, glorious, proclaiming
this new hope, this new promise
this new day
singing
I could feel the hope of this new day! I liked the "as each spider crack of night is soaked through".
ReplyDeleteMm. Dawn is such a gift bringer. I wonder about the emphatic "does" in line 2 and 3 which seem a protest? I like the repetition of child as he comes into focus along with the triumph of all.
ReplyDeleteA lovely air of happiness and hope to this piece.
