early to rise

Suddenly yet simultaneously precisely regular. That particular series of moments when the character brightens the world, awaking it from dark slumber. His arms slowly elongate across the increasingly blue expanse. Slowly he slinks down the leaves of the tallest trees. They respond carefully, stretching out and soaking up - conversing with this refreshing, old friend. Down to the roots the character speaks life into creation. Then glistening in the dewy grasses who swell in the wind as algae of the deep. The character unfolds the limbs of the beast of the land, the wings of the air. The character widens the eyes, harkens ears to readiness. The character converses all day, but none so fresh, so peaceful as that first morning dialogue.
Once dark, now separated, that daily reassuring ritual of redeeming grace, a fresh face, a romantic embrace – we welcome that character in this place.
