Early Morning in Ojai at the Dawn of the New Year

by Suza Francina on January 1, 2010

I head out in the dark
to catch the magic moment –
the crack of dawn
My dog runs ahead
her exuberance, her ecstasy
is contagious
I look West
and the full moon
is hanging high in the sky
by an etheric thread


I look East
and the dark sky begins to blaze
from the hidden sun
My big booted feet
take strong, giant steps
The crow of the roosters
Cheers me on
I turn and head for the wild
I lean against a huge boulder
and watch the bright full Moon
Slowly sink
The Earth feels like Eden
Like a playground
Where all we are asked to do
Is feel the forces of Life
The first light of day
A mixture of the sun and moon
Illuminates the world
Everything is aglow
Together we stand
Between the sun and the moon
In a field of joy

Actually, Suza, you walk very softly, other than when you have to run after your ecstatic dog and power source, B.G.
