A Poem For Today - Celtic Time Begins In Darkness

[KEN DICKINSON]

Celtic Time Begins In Darkness

Listen.
What happens in the darkness matters.
It’s rest
then motion,
and not the other way around.
First rest,
then nourish,
then move. The darkness
informs the light. The light
is not bright preface to exhaustion. The night
is not mere sequel to the day.
So let me rest now
through the bruised velvet hours.
Let me rest
as the night figures prowl.
I will listen
with my sleeping body.
I will say welcome.
I will enter into
this startling fullness
called my life.

- Amy Elizabeth Robinson
