Oh to be born again!

Oh to be born again
On this dawn as Sun rises and
Brilliant Venus merges into the same Eastern sky
What might it take to claim
Authority of perception
And see one’s self and the world with new eyes
Even as Meadow Lark sets free upon the world
Her first song of the day
Celebrating the wonders of birth
This life in this moment in this place
Oh such power as to freely embody
This one opportunity for living
 
Awake to the visible and invisible
All senses now eager to be claimed    
Embracing anew the mysteries of existence
