daybreak
the moment of divinity

she brings promise
she brings soft white clouds
she brings baby blue skies of hope

her trees are always green in California
monuments of her glory
sitting quietly on the mountains

I have my first cigarette and coffee with her
listening to her music

the landlords are still sleeping
they can't bother you for the rent

she comes in war or peace
she comes in life or death
she comes in age or youth
she comes in rain or snow
she never lets you down

she is the one moment
where all men come as one soul to celebrate the day

daybreak
the loving the moment of divinity
