Aubade for Pentecost
Aubade for Pentecost
I rise in night’s last dark
leave the sleeping house
step into the morning of the world
Birds sing in tongues
crickets click confusion
bullfrogs ask deep questions
New wind wrinkles pond water
breath of trees strokes my skin
I accept the kiss of peace
Hills turn pink with joy
flowers lift their heads– I turn
with them to face the rising fire
