This is the morning that will rise,
to the sun in every eye,
to the ancient apple tree
and the cycles of the moon.
The effervescent honey bee
tells us to begin again and again.

Staring into the embers,
we grieve and dream,
stir the ashes of our lives.
Through the air we come to see
many things hidden and now are freed.
A new rain falls on our myths and stories
as we return to the beginning of what we know.

The sound has stopped.
The heart has not.
The stillness frees the mind.
Time for action!
Time for unrest,
and for rest.
For rest is needed in a forest.
The trees grow when their roots are deep.
Buried inside trees, hearts tremble
at something forgotten,
something lost in the shoots.
Rain comes down and it is enough
For trees to grow young again.

This is the morning that will rise,
to the sun in every eye,
to the ancient apple tree
and the cycles of the moon.
The effervescent honey bee
tells us to begin again, and again.

This is the morning. We start again.
This is the morning to start again!
