Confronting the Truth

Eons pass, mountains build, glaciate, melt, 
rise from fog
protecting verdant valleys.

A tentative sun peers at itself in the still water, 
so clear the current-carven trunks 
beneath the pairs of scarlet dragonflies
glow a flowing green.

Pinpoint moment on the map of ages,
a great egret soars on silent wings
as morning opens like the peacock's tail,
spilling the day's treasures out for eager hands.
