Dawning Reality 1978

Sometimes when the reality dawns
Just like early morning
Its like being found in the light
With nothing to worry about
The birds begin to chirp

Realizing
A whole set of struggles or problems, or questions
Have just sailed off your hands
Like Milkweed down

A new level of awareness settles comfortably
Like a flannel shirt.

We grow, and life changes our minds.
We grow into states of mind
Reassessing
Doing the same things that please us
For different reasons
Or abstaining from things
In the light of a new understanding.
