arising on a poetic morning...

as the sharp rays

of sunlight

meticulously sliced

through lingering clouds

to sculpt away the web of darkness

of night

 i broke off a piece of time

and used its jagged edges

to scrape away the corroded pain

of doubt

so today, I will

pull out words

from the womb

of my mind

and paint images of life

on a paper canvas---

chisel out a song of love

and fell and smell

the warm breath of God

soothing my sweet serene soul

thus would if you would---arise---

come journey with me

in the ecstasy of poetic odyssey---

and wander the Odin-like caverns

of the fertile womb of my mind’s coming

to meet the morning’s beautiful dawning.
