The longest night ends
In pink and orange and blue
Start of a new day

Each set of footprints
Music notes on the blank page
Record a new song

Try to catch
The vast and reaching sunrise
In a hand-held box

Out of the darkness
Runners silently appear
For morning prayers

Warming eastern sky
Waning crescent moon above
The frost-covered field

Imperceptible
Moment the day begins
The world come to life

Tracks in the fresh snow
Weave along the winding trail
Vanish in the woods

Caught flat-footed
Jack rabbit wearing white
On the brown grass

First spring robin
Singing in the shadows
Heard but not seen

Old crows rose early
To gripe about the day
Moon remains silent
