Moon of Snow Dawn
Moon of Snow Dawn
New Moon, February 11, 2021
In these moments of impeccable reckoning
our life
may sometimes yield its guarded borders
to color
blue from black, into annatto & turmeric
as sunshine
in the liberation gap of the outbreath
gift & refuge
a widening aperture to live the painting
merge synonymous
laying upon the earth’s infinite mutable forms
like February snow
that frees every thing to be itself
watch how the prison bars return
see anew
again the opening, the color, the light
the breath, the presence, the earth
the change, the luminous yes
the new now
Poem by Qayyum Johnson
