my heart was opened
as I leaned into the arms of the tree ...
The birds stopped talking
and their silence came apon me
I wandered why?
With half-closed eyes
I saw the rising sun
as if thru the eyes of the birds ...
The Ibis call out to proclaim the dawn.
Haai, Haai, Kuku Ru bird of peace
Slowly, Slowly, You Rise Up
a cacophony of colors
Sometimes it takes so long
mosquitos bite
The Light that lights the Eye of my Lord
The dawn that comes Before
The Dawn at dusk,
I live for that moment
when my heart is opened ...
