A New 'Dada' Dawns

The sun that rose this morning
(on the sick and the well) :
on the jubilant and on the mourning

is the same
that nourished the ancient flowers
of Eden...

that the Greeks called Apollo,
and the Egyptians:
'Ra' and 'Atan...'
the Hindus 'Surya,'
and the Aztec 'Tonatiuh...'

It is the same that made the apple glow
for Eve and for Isaac, 
for Einstein, for the Mona Lisa,
and for you and for me...

the same sun Solomon 
saw nothing new under
from that lofty view
God's strength lifted him to...

and the same Christ
used to see Caesar's coin
and differentiate the false 
from the true
