Draw
Dawn
夜明けを描く
Yoake o kaku
ps.19

Draw dawn
without flaw
for awe.

The day has its say
from the breaking dawn.
It finds its way 
to the new born fawn

The fragrant flower demurs
surely by the gentle river. The breeze stirs
the leaves in the trees for sight to seize. 
Birds chirp ‘merry weather’ for insects and seeds.

Blossoms bloom for light, warmth and wind. 
The bees buzz fuzzy for their business bin.
The sad flower lets go 
of her smallest petal.

Flutters 
shudder
in the flight from sound
to the ground. 
Sadness sinks from the brash 
crashing flash
in the growth of light in day 
to the dark stash of glad dismay
in the depth of roots
forsooth. 

Ho! Ho! 
Honey Ho.

The bees know how to sow
the sweetness of labor stowed
and owned as known.

Sweet daughter
by the altered altars 
that nature offers
you know you oughta
dance like the otter
plays in water.

Dance daughter
for your offers
from alien paupers
without flying saucers.
.
You will be loved
because you are a loving dove.

The story for glory
grows glory for the story
with the warning that violence
is not the catalyst for change or silence.
Cruelty creates atavism for pain 
and disdain.

We have been brought out of the house of misery.
We have been delivered from the bitterness of injury.

Love is the votive motive
for motoring in a better locomotive. 

L’amour is the automotive lotus.
Society needs signs.
Individuality seeks wisdom for mind.

The cross celebrates crucifixion
as the cement for the conviction
that pain is the friction
that precedes the reconciliation
of conflict in resurrection.

Faith looks past the impossible
to possibility. 
The promise of the promisable
is seen and believed with civility
for fertility with maturity. 

Creativity in the present 
presence presses forward with intent
into the future until it has passed
into the past as it has been cast 
for reverie 
or review 
by memory
as true.

Love is true.
Love is you.

Reason and beauty close the day.
Another day is on the way.


19 Cœli enarrant

1 The heavens declare the glory of God, *
and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 One day tells its tale to another, *
and one night imparts knowledge to another.
3 Although they have no words or language, *
and their voices are not heard,
4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, *
and their message to the ends of the world.
5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *
it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;
it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens
and runs about to the end of it again; *
nothing is hidden from its burning heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect
and revives the soul; *
the testimony of the Lord is sure
and gives wisdom to the innocent.
8 The statutes of the Lord are just
and rejoice the heart; *
the commandment of the Lord is clear
and gives light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean
and endures for ever; *
the judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
more than much fine gold, *
sweeter far than honey,
than honey in the comb.
11 By them also is your servant enlightened, *
and in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can tell how often he offends? *
cleanse me from my secret faults.
13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not get dominion over me; *
then shall I be whole and sound,
and innocent of a great offense.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, *
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.


Ex. 20:2
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery

1 Cor. 1:22
Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles

John 2:13
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

"The dwarf planet Ceres, the Full Moon, and the return of Mercury and Venus, all in the sky this week."

Mercury, Venus
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
Ceres - Fertility

"Can you see all five bright planets at the same time in March 2018, as we did in early 2016? No. But, especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, March 2018 is a great month for catching all five bright planets either after sunset, or before dawn.

"What’s fun this month is that the inferior planets – Mercury and Venus, which orbit inside Earth’s orbit around the sun – are located in one part of the sky, the western sky after sunset. Meanwhile, the superior planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, which orbit outside Earth’s orbit around the sun – are best viewed after midnight, or in the predawn hours."
