Day Breakers

 

There are those who separate night from day. 

Greeting dawn with anticipation

They are golden people, light bearers of the world.

I am not one of these ...

I pull night over me, a trusted friend. I am crimson and gold

I am in the company of demons and angels drawn into the center of the dark night (of the soul.) I fall, I reel ...  Oh sweet night. .. Oh saving grace

Wild 'angels I call on thee... lift me from this wild imagining Rise, they say, child of God, greet this night,

Do not languish in your mourning bed...

Rise; lift up thine eyes from the burning dark.

Look to the swirling stars, the poetic moon, break it open ... At night, I am crimson and gold,

Embered, a soft glow in the velvet darkness

I will have my churning dreams and tormented heart

Let the day breakers have their brilliant light and Marian blue Give me this sweet night, this tender passage

Wild Angels I call on thee O' my soul,

O' my soul.

From the anthology: Things with Wings, 2001 The Wild Angels

All the Poems

I am posting prose and poetry from the anthology series I crafted and curated with Patricia, Patrick, John, and a host of instructors along the way. For ten years I co-facilitated a successful writing program, The Wild Angels Poets and Writers group, at the historic Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. The program ended in May 2010 after we published our tenth anthology and final reading.
