First Light
by Leonard M HawkesEarly,
Beneath a dark morning
Autumn-constelated sky,
The south mountain breeze
Struggling against me;
I walk with Him.
We have no secrets.
And in His knowing,
I am somehow fortified--
Weakness becomes hope.
Hope--faith, Faith
Even unto a Knowledge
Of that Dawning in the East.
