A New Day
This is a beautiful day!
Outside with the dawn
Traffic has not overwhelmed
The celebration of birds
As it does any day except
Sunday
Nor poisoned the sweet
air
With petrol and diesel
fumes.
In the West is turquoise,
and violet,
Overhead a deep blue,
And in the East a surging
light
I would enjoy better
on the scented hills
or the ocean shores
around us
But even here the vibrant
light
Cleans me of dark dreams
And wakens new hope
We are always renewed
Cares fade before greater
light
And for a breath there
is time to play
A model aircraft is
trapped
In the branches of a
tree.
