I imagine what it looks like to see the dawn
While spreading my wings
Coasting in the dark
Awakening at sundown
Like a lotus blossoming
Out of the murkiness of the swamp
Hot pink and blood orange pedals
Unfolding in the coffee colored water
Transforming from slumber into free bird I fly into the night
Under the glow of the moon
Through the thickness of the forest
The lushness of its trees
Into the red rock desert
Deserted and dry
Soil cracked and parched from the heat of the sun
As I glide through the star dust
Glistening off the back of my feathers
Back into the garden
Fresh of blooming spinach
Fragrant jasmine
And the spice of habanero
The root or turmeric under the earth
As I drift above the sparkle of the ocean
Into the winds of the sea
Under the lavender wisteria
I tuck myself back into a willow tree
Resting from the journey
Replenished from my night flight
As the sun just begins to peak
On the depth of the dark orchid horizon
I close my wide yellow eyes
Resting with gratitude from my journey
Of intimately knowing the beauty of the dark
