Greet the Day
Greet the day
Palms up
Eyes stretched
To the sun
And the fear is in your bones
This your blood intones
You rage these seeds into the ground
And the dreams of the poets
And the dreams of noblest dead
These visions, warnings, rays of light shine in your head
And you shiver, shake, hunger and pine
And the dust between your toes
And the star between your eyes
How infinite, how radiant
The sunbeams shine
You watch it sink down
As we rise
A heart so wounded
And a heart that is true
Will weave a rope and throw it
Cross the chasm straight to you
And you’ll walk it
A Guardian of Light
Greet the day
Palms up
Eyes stretched to the sun
And the Wind is in your bones
This your blood intones
You follow these seeds into the ground
