Wednesday Vignette - Will There Really Be a Morning?

As the nights lengthen, seeing the sunrise in the garden during the weekend becomes dear, especially when there's a clear sky.  Occasionally, sitting in November darkness, one wonders if there will be a morning.

Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Men from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!

Here's Craig Hella Johnson singing his setting of the poem.

As Dolly Parton assures us, "I can see the light of a clear blue morning, I can see the light of a brand new day, and everything's gonna be alright, It's gonna be okay."

As communities begin the process of rebuilding after wildfires and hurricanes, let's cling to  that vision of a clear blue morning, a new beginning.
