SUNRISE BUS STOP  (1989, Leucadia, California)

 
  
suns up this morning  
fat and wide  
upon the eastern  
horizon  
exploding  
like atomic glare  
in blinding  
platinum  
solar rays  
interspersed  
with softer beams  
so radiantly  
stabbing out  
through pranic air  
of new born  
awakening day  
razor cutting  
out  
static silhouettes  
of still enslumbered  
rooftops  
and houses  
geometrically staggered  
here and there    
interspersed amid  
the bric a brac    
fractaled  
lacework  
of softly stirring  
living treelines  
juxtaposed  
as one cameo    
blackened seam  
silently running  
contiguously between  
sleeping earth  
below  
and waking sky  
above  
along the silent
zen still  
sigh  
of eastern  
horizon lines
broad  vast  distant
unfathomably deep  
fluid
peaceful repose  
as i  
drink in  
both  
sweet mornings    
air  
and light  
through nose  
mouth  eyes  
lungs  senses  
mind
so too
this new day  
drinks    
and breathes  
me in  
as one  
with it
in symbiotic return
like cool  
clear water  
of life charged  
life sparked  
ionized dawn  
harmoniously recalibrating    
my heightened  
awareness  
quickening my vibratory    
perceptions  
setting my skin  
and senses  
to more acutely  
awakened tingling  
where earths  
own awakening  
is most alert  
and cosmically electric  
in morning  
as all of natures  
collective  
virgin energies  
are fluidly harmonized  
under the magical  
spell  
of her invigorating  
ethereal mists  
and star lit  
sun kissed  
diamond dews  
fierily bejewelled  
by this    
rising suns  
warm    
angled touch  
which now also    
casts  
my elongated shadow  
far across  
the ground behind me  
as its vital  
god like power  
fills me up  
profoundly  
with each  
and every  
inspired breath  
i take in  
and then release  
these my words  
flow out freely  
and easily  
with every exhalation  
gently exhalted    
prayers  
of ever deepening  
appreciation  
of love and inspiration  
as each sweet    
breath  
bonds and fuses  
within me  
this radiant  
soul deep unity  
intimately brightened  
more fully alive  
even beyond  
these fleeting moments  
already lapsed  
behind me here  
as well as  
forever  
within this  
continuously flowing  
mysterious  
sacred  
now
