Poem written and narrated by Christine Valters Paintner. Music by Jake Morgan.

lyrics

Aubade

The day opens its white page,
spreading herself like so much possibility,
you take your pen, pausing
before you begin so you can hear
the jackdaw caw high above
your tiny shadow and the snowdrop’s
insistent blooming, somewhere
is the knowing glance of badger,
each unafraid to write their stories
on wind and soil and you see they
offer ink for your pen in
a hundred different colors.

---Christine Valters Paintner

From the poetry collection The Wisdom of Wild Grace (Paraclete Press)
