Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.
-Genesis 1:3
We call this hour pre-dawn; but it is not;
Just as we do not call this hour post-night
It is not pre-anything; it is itself
With not-yet-light that is given in peace
The creatures of the night have gone to bed
The creatures of the day are not yet up
And so there is mist and silence and you
As prayers of beingness offered at dawn
As prayers on the morning of Creation -
Before the alarms alarm and the buzzers buzz
