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.
