​                                                                 Beneath Morning’s Mist
​
 
Is a well-nourished Earth.
The Star slowly reveals
So many new possibilities                                                        
Layer beneath layer,
In yellow and gold.
 
We are witnesses of the
continuing, creating work
of the Earth,
transforming itself
into a new being
as we slept. 
 
The Earth’s creating
has never stopped
But continues, even
in the darkness of night.

So much creating activity
 Hidden from our sight.
 
When we wake, we see
Hints and clues  
Wherever we look,
new beings and spurts of growth,
like that field of spider webs sparkling
with dew in the Star’s morning light.
 
We might wonder about ourselves.
 
Unbeknownst to us, what new openings
have unfolded in us
As we slept?
