_morning covering before any soul has woken...

In those early hours
before the light of night surrendered to the dark of day

Perfect sight reveals what only perfect eyes can see
No self proclaimed experts at hand to document and record
No lively exchange of hot air to melt the moment
No Peter at the transfiguration
Invitations sent only to awestruck onlookers who won't sell and abuse
Uncomplicated in their rejoicing
Secure in simplicity
Content
not striving
