In silent dark
the soul rests
in solace hidden
from city lights.
The healing night
and flooding sea,
God’s face unveiled
in quiet beauty.
Now the sun,
bright on the tide,
stirring the madrone
with morning winds.
From dark to light
the everyday dance,
gathered in Earth’s
deep folds of mystery.
Reading of “Face Unveiled” with music by Daft Punk
Don, you paired the poem with just the right photo. Lovely on both counts.
Later this year, I will visit Norway’s Arctic Circle and hopefully witness a vast auroral light show. In preparation, I’ve learned much about charged particles and solar cycles. But what I most seek is an embodied experience of the dance and the mystery and the union.
Don — Beautiful poem today with a deep resonance. Thanks for sharing. I see the PR guy above complimented you on the poem & photo. But he left out the perfect musical accompaniment by Daft Punk. Your poetically-inpired lawyers miss nothing. Mike
Dear Don, We enjoyed your gorgeous poem, photo, and music this evening
as we watched the moonrise over our deck.
Thank you so much for this one, and your weekly blessing of verse!
Thank You, Don! I now realize that (during my 7 past decades-full of daily awakenings on Earth) the silent dark of each prior Healing Night has readied my soul to brightly dance this New Day (‘Today’) into radically radiant Being! ‘Evening & Morning’, Dance On!
The Night watchman stayed awake to tell us of this mystery, fittingly in poetry. Thanks Don, as you again catch sight of the changing faces of God.
