I see A sunrise A mountain of warmth and light More beautiful than Cleo, Helen, and Monroe combined A sense of life so near and clear and true If thou canst rise, speak too And it demands! that shadows be cast Long and tall like a line to be walked And risked and fought for; its mine, yours and ours Once more unto the breach, it shouts, of the day For all gold things pass’d and that shall pass Catch it, for it runs and wanders forty years And forty nights, through the heart of darkness And savage children, runs through the middle of Your house and the middle of your street It repeats, idiosyncratic, like a breakbeat Or the chequer’d eastern sky, unforgettable and invisible And indivisible, oh-say-can-you-see derivable Invincible, with ninety-nine problems but today ain’t one Today won’t shunt this light sideways Todays will always surround tonights That hound you and found you tonight Found you, cryin’ to little sisters and Antolinis And Laurences, for love seemingly dead And twilights definitely cold Hang on, never let go, Jack, and Rise with it, float on Like hopes and eyes and hands Seizing it by dawn. This slowly, surely sunrise Can you see it?
