A New Day Sun

He Came Out

the darkness, yes,
but also the light.
from the East, a new day
sun,
wind that moves
the fixed within
the lonesome without.
owl coming out
of a tavern, out of a cave
with rubble all around.
that’s the truth, where
he came from--
and in the daylight!
in the crisp
morning air,
he came out!
I watched him track
the chipmunk
eager, with people staring,
he sat and watched,
head moving slowly,
blending into
the cross of trees
he called cedar,
he called home.
invite in the truth
to resurrect
the old ways, bring
new ways,
bring them into the world
in a good way.
