Surreal Light of Halcyon Dawn
Trembling,
squinting out
into the night
silence awaits
fresh air
peace of mind
the forgotten hour
I step out
taking my first
forward stride
too preoccupied
with the next
I nearly trip -
reaching the hand rail
to regain my balance
Ah exultant release
feel it in the blood
resonating from the
deep chambers
of the lungs
Freedom to breathe
out 'neath the stars
Street lamps
smile
electric
ear to ear
overhead eye
newschannel
chopperblades
stir the silence
whurring
through the northern skies
swimming pools of
summer air tranquility
sable wings perch dive
fluttering fearlessly
silverfish aquarium frozen
liquid mirrors of the night
surfacing god's glassy ocean
pen lullaby by
lunar night light
oil spill foliage
obscuring margin
and line
cant see a word
I write
pure nocturnal
instinct
unintelligible
in the the broad
light of day
Suburbs bathed in dream-

surreal azure indigo
haze
wild diamond
stallions
the light
sends forth
its stable fleet
shimmering stillness
shaken by
the halcyon trot
of silent hooves
moment set free
from time's
circular
race track
paddock
Sweet solar bloodshed
sky's secret language
occult owleyed wisdom of dawn
burgeoning tendrils
light of the ever expanding horizon
pervading darkness swallowed bit by bit
When suddenly
from out of the stillness of night's shadows
accumulates the Orange's vast basket of Eternity
(fallen fruits of divinity's forgotten birth right)
Noiseless
imperturbable
quietude
stretching my arms
in attempt to hold
this fleeting tranquility
Hour of vast stillness
with a child's wide eyed
christmas anticipation
stretched out supine
in the moist morning
dew of the lawn
awaiting
the arrival of dawn
raw-meat-drumsticks
my hairy human legs
providing a nice civil
breakfast for the
manically starved
mosquitoes
any moment now that first crack
of new day yolk will come oozing
over the iron blue eastern sky line skillet
Crickets strum
fine fibered fiddles
scratching tunes unseen
lost amongst the inky vegetation
treetop cicadas lone note hum
a single sound stretching
onward and skybound
OH obscure lullaby of this
abandoned hour

Time for the test of all TESTS!
The daily test of LIFE!
NO time for studying!
Book and pen down
laptops closed
now arise!
Stand up! Stretch and expand!
Exercise your feet!
Walking through a dream coverlet
so why covet sleep?
No need to force eyelids shut
all close in proper fitting time
But if if gravity be tuggin your blinds
no need to fight it!
Go ahead and dream in the surreal light of dawn
fall asleep out under the oak in the lawn
who cares?
Early rising neighbors concerned with their commute?
Wake up! Wake up!
Everyone complaining and claiming
empty tanks running on road worn tires
I'm tired of these day to day motioning tires!
Behold the Light! The Light!
Wake up to the intricacies of life!
Oh playful tree top light!
Intrinsic beauty in your innocence
child like wonder! Simple roots of truth!
Eternal Energy shines!
Wake up! Wake up!
Open the blinds!
Let it sweep through the attic
clear cobwebs lizards spiders
from the wall!
Let it wash and polish the rust from
them bleary bed sheets eyes!
See the essence!
Feel the dew!
Breath morning fresh air!
Exalt like a rooster
cock-a-doodle-doo!
Here it is that big old wheel 'o cheddar in the sky
meltin' over the iron blue eastern skyline skillet
