Dawn

The light
Gets stronger
In increments as
The predawn light
Is followed by the sun
Topping the mountains
Then later the ridgeline
When it streams through
The open window dancing
Sunbeams celebrate dawn’s
Light and I muse on our own
Incremental dawn as we
Slowly gain light by age
Experience books and
Even media always
In increments each
Of which may be
Seen as an
Epiphany
Or an
Insight as
We look at
Life from the
Angles of time
Having spent a
Sixth of our life in
The first grade we
Now see time flow by
Faster than the dawn’s
Increments of light
A revelation over
Breakfast
Between
Toast
And tea.
