Zeitgeber ... Return

Today's word is "zeitgeber" ... TSAHYT-gey-ber ... an environmental cue, as the length of daylight or the degree of tempuratures, that helps to regulate the cycles of an organism's biological clock. (Dictionary.com)

Return

As the night turns into day,

And day back into night,

The sun as zeitgeber, commands

This rhythm of earth's flight.

All the creatures living here,

Obey this way or that,

Rising early morn or late,

Within their habitat.

But, we push the darkness back,

Awake past set of eve,

Up in the morn, before the sun,

Our destinies to weave.
