Morning Tide

The sun is new.
White breakers roll
onto sand with foam and roar.
A crimson and orange sky
rises into blue,
the curtain up
and lines recited by surf
and gulls riding
updrafts of sea wind
and swells of current
over the deep mind
of a waking world.

It is the dawn

of new and everlasting

time spun from nothing

but the vacuum and void,

an idea with an idea

of form and substance.

From east to west,

light sweeps the land

into cities and prairies

and uneven mountains

that insist on rock-rise.

From water, it all begins again.
