Langston Hughes - Walkers With The Dawn

Being walkers with the dawn and morning,
Walkers with the sun and morning,
We are not afraid of night,
Nor days of gloom,
Nor darkness--
Being walkers with the sun and morning.

Don't you posters get it? This poem is about slaves knowing about sunrise and sunset because of working in the fields. It's neither cool, sweet, or pleasant for them to rise at sunrise.

This one sure "spoke to my condition" as the Quakers say. I have been walking with the sunrise almost every morning for years...It supports me through the tough times of family disfunction, middle age, career loss, and a persistent depressive disorder. Life is All!
