DAWN


The sun intrudes at Willow Wood;
shadows rush into waiting trees,
an hour of glory comes,        
resurrected dawn        
and all the world unfolds again        
in beauty.        
--Jk
The valley spirit never dies;
It is the woman, primal mother.
Her gateway is the root of heaven and earth
It is like a veil barely seen.
Use it; it will never fail.
  --the Tao

 

Stranger, if you passing meet me and
    desire to speak to me
why should you not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?

 --Whitman

 

I'll tell you how the sun rose,--
   A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
   The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets,
   The bobolinks begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
   "That must have been the sun!"

    --Dickinson
