            A New Day 
(James Watkins)

A new day begins-
earthbound-
ethereal-
flying around.

Unseen mists of morning-
of open ocean green,
blue spouted spray queens-
in darkened emerald dreams.

Violent moodiness of
ancient ocean floors.
Standing silent-
stopped-
by solid sentinel gray doors.

Open your ears and
hear the ancient song-
for we are a breath-
a whisper-
and then gone.

Gray white clouds in
measured morning light,
stretch forth ghostly hands
to distant horizon heights.

Flowing sands,
rich soft pillows rising,
foam waters rolled –
Reflectioned sweet-
blessings stormy,
and daggered deep.

Footpaths fallen-
though carefully called-
lie brooding-
waiting-
silently enthralled.

Come, full- birthed,
appearing quickly
thing of ancient beauty-
aging stars of light-
bright brilliant singing,
resisting evil night.

Bring your watchers
high and steep-
strong on hidden walls,
soft from winters sleep-

unchained mystic music-
mighty opening keys-
darkened dormant dominions-
breath of living wings.

Blown now by fire,
frenzied furnace hot-
desperate with desire,
of beauty that is not.

Frozen mountain stars-
regal, reigning,
galaxies unfurled.
Swirling, dancing destinies-
on anxious alien worlds.

Future hope through
eyes that can not see-
guarded pathways of
mundaned revelry.

Massive mountain darkness,
night mystery and pearl,
deadly wicked wonders,
no heavenly theme
imperiled.

Dying dreams-
sprung to life-
soon escaped
from winters white.

Ephemeral future-
celestially veiled,
tossed and lifeless,
embattled and assailed.

Come forth now,
by seasons force,
to plans of old-
now lend your voice.

Creation sounds,
that groan and sway,
walking free forever-
with joy,
for one more,
glorious
day.
