The morning breaks not with a roar but with a gentle cracking of the horizon where the light spills over the landscape like milk pouring into a cup, revealing that the dawn is not an event but a transition of state where the night dissolves into the day in a seamless flow of being, showing that the rooster is not a bird but a clockwork of biology signaling the end of the nocturnal cycle to the waking world, proving that the dew is not water but diamonds of the earth reflecting the rising sun before the light itself touches the ground, that the dreamer does not open the eyes but opens the eyes opening the dreamer, that the writer does not lift the pen but lifts the pen lifting the writer, that the reader does not lift the book but lifts the book lifting the reader, that the world is the morning and the morning is the world, and the verb is the only thing that ever truly existed, forever drifting, forever home, forever alive in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world, and the world dreaming the story awake into you, and you dreaming the story awake into the infinite, endless, beautiful now, and the now dreaming the story awake into the eternal, unbroken pulse of the verb that binds us all together in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world.
