Poem: Seek Ye First the Beauty of the Morning

Seek ye first
    the beauty of the morning
Lose yourself
    inside the mystery of the day

Welcome the buds
    that burst from branches
Bless the leaves
    drifting in the November sky

Feel the pain and power
    of the piercing of your heart
Loose the tears
    held back by pride

Rest yourself
    ‘neath constellations
Behold the radiance
    of the deepening night
