Poem "Aurora"

Aurora 

The sun peeks over a sleepy horizon

Trees rouse and reach their bare fingers 

Towards a single, flickering angel 

The ecstatic shift shakes the furrowed ground 

Rattling seeds with the vibration of sudden Life

Frozen rivers exhale the disease of stagnation 

While an emanating pulse fractures the gray 

All shadows scamper like guilty dogs disappearing into the light

A vivid bird sheers the silence with its anthem, commencing all that breathes 

Each bone and thought realigns without effort 

And begins to speak simple poetry 

The pipe organ declares an ancient song

Summoning the original stories from the belly of the earth

Dawn rises in the eye of the weary traveler 

Infinity sprouts in the bones of the mortal 

And all becomes animated 

Ablaze with defiant, sublime magic 

Remembering knowledge as one remembers color 

True North

is a song that shakes the dust from the lips of the lost
