The morning sunrise on the beach
An epiphany, a realization
a dawning of enlightenment
a end to an inner confrontation
battled over an all night stint
As the sun rises over the misty bay
an understanding, all sorted out
at the start of this new day
a new clue to what it's about
The battles from the night concluded
and now I think I might understand
The answers that have so long eluded
fading like footprints in the sand
Waves will crash, and the tide will roll
but the long walk has a conclusion
loading the pipe and lighting the bowl
clarity from the ashes of confusion
