Greater Plan of Day

the cock crows
because the sun
has his heart all
fired up with the
golden promises
of the new day

the crickets shrill
and shrill because
they wish to polish
the shine of the moon

their prayers
pierce and pierce
the night sky
sharpening,
brightening
the edges and faces
of the moon

morning stars
fade away into the day
to give way to the new
and greater lights
in everybody's heart
