Set Aside
A mountain stream, bubbling waters flow
over rocks and branches
as the sun moves across the near field. Its
light slowly like a wave reveals the grasses
and the morning dew
glistens back like stars.
On a rock set aside from the morning play
I watch.
At first scared of the coming wave of light,
its brightness conquering the dark
before dawn.
As the light reaches my stone it covers
me, warm and blanketing my skin.
Its light fills the stream
and small fish dart within its glory.
Set aside
I alone on a stone
beside a mountain stream in the morning sun.
