Morning Draught

From the deep earth well sunk in the bedrock of origin, I draw my morning draught, rich with the minerals of tree root and starlight.

Stranger to the Beautiful by Don Hynes

“Like snow melt
and passing leaves,
we show our faces
then are gone,
and like rivers we pour.”
Don Hynes

“Down the narrow trail
to the sound of sea lions
barking their belonging,
we wandered into their world,
the one we thought was ours.”
Don Hynes, Something Will Change Me: Poems of Soul and Spirit

“She's a gift, you see,
rare and precious
as wild grass
or heron in flight;
unpredictable,
beyond imitation,
gemstone perfect.
 ”
Don Hynes, Something Will Change Me: Poems of Soul and Spirit
