Dancing in the Dawn

      by Elaine Longworth, UK

I say poets feel everything
The dawn, the dusk, the raging
Our rebellions, our stories weaved in fear and love
 
Tears fall endlessly
Yet bliss enters
Coming boldly into view
A new knowing emerges
 
I see your scare stories
I applaud your desire for butterflies
Yet their wings flutter untroubled
Dancing in the dawn of new earth
 
Even the trees sway their good-byes
Soul searching, we leave with them
Our divine artist in residence
Our Heaven awaits humanity’s waking
 
Speak your love for earth
Breathe her bounteous gifts
Bathe in the wonder of what can be
Speaking creation, woven anew in conscious connection
