Break of Light


Break of Light

By Armando Ortiz


Break of light

emerging from the night


The beginning has arrived

the start of the day is fast approaching


Dawn’s sky is the pacific

reflecting its image in a vast ocean


Stars glitter like black mica flakes

flickers of people rising from the night


Welcoming the rays of a sunburst

embarking on a journey of life


canoes begin crossing the seas to islands

from this world to the next.


Break of light

emerging from the night


Some awaken into a prolonged slumber

at the cusp of birth


All sides see color explosions

and wonders in all directions


Life conceived

we emerge crying


Into a sea of emotions

and endless possibilities.
