dreaming into day

one a.m.
i sink into my stoop and surrender
to the mellifuous meander of moonbeams and dreams
woven from my open heart
      and the dark cloth of night
                                 this night
      gentle and spacious
my song
     boundless in its prophetic cadence
i pray
under the moon
        a patient witness with its sweet steady gaze
the sky
   vast and shimmering
    a vault of jewels deep and flickering
    that i cast my wishes into

i lean into the loosening breath of the night
and release my song
                          long and relentless
into this wilderness of shadow and light

may it crystallize with the break of day
   like dewdrops in the morning haze

as the diaspora of night's shadows strays
  may all fears be undone
  with the orchestral sweep of morning sun

as the air is awash with rays of a new day
may our spirits be washed of all yesterdays

and may we rise
   with spaciousness of spirit
under the potent promise of today
