In each sunrise
a new chance
to change
and rearrange.
Each sunrise births clouds,
removes shrouds from eyes,
the sunrise disintegrates lies.
Each sunrise is a dance,
the slant of light
reflected in pallor
of the earth’s turning.
Each sunrise
paves the way for yesterday,
and infinite tomorrows.
Each sunrise
Borrows from sunset
an immutable spark
that has yet to be yet.
Each sunrise mesmerises,
paints pastel penitence
in morning choir,
the trill of birds alights
from bow in boundless flight.
Each sunrise awakens
eternal power singing
life born of death
in night’s wilting flower.
Each sunrise an eternal flame
that burns at the heart
of the nameless name.
Flaming crystal skin
of Ouroboros within.
Infinite currents of light,
circling day in cessation of night.
