In the early morning edges
where sleep tosses its transparent images
in fractal ragged waves
across awakeness

In the pre-dawn chill
where an electric light
fails to bring the vigor of the day

There is still radiance,
jewels of peaceful thought
spreading clarity,
rays of awareness
imparting buoyant hope:
this is a day of healing.
