The Book of Days…part xxxxv
The Book of Days
The dawn’s early light can be pleasure enough for the whole day.
There are words enough to tell the story of “the temptation of day to come.”
It is my delight to write some of them for your delectation.
Sol
That fabulous blot of starshine squeezed through
a hole in the lightening sky…
I wanted to look right through it
but the uttermost beauty
is forbidden to our mortal eyes.
Yet I turned my eyes to it again,
and tried to stay…
I tried to look closer,
I think I saw an edge
of pure, celestial delight.
Maybe I will imagine more.
I said “good morning.”

It was a transience, a moment for understanding, again, that there is more to sunrise than meets the eye.
