The beginning of each part of her handle seemed to jump out, and I saw WaGon. Wagon, I thought, Are there any poems about wagons? I bet someone’s written a poem about a wagon. William Carlos Williams? No, that’s a wheelbarrow. Why such a train of thought should have been triggered by seeing a name I see virtually every day, I don’t know, but it happened very quickly and spontaneously, and before I knew it I was typing wagon poem into the Google search bar, with no idea what to expect.
The first result was part of a poem by the Muslim poet Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks under the title “A Great Wagon”:
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,there is a field. I’ll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grass,the world is too full to talk about.Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”doesn’t make any sense.The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.Don’t go back to sleep.You must ask for what you really want.Don’t go back to sleep.People are going back and forth across the doorsillwhere the two worlds touch.The door is round and open.Don’t go back to sleep.
“The door is round and open.” The comment that led me to this poem was about a green door, and round green doors have been a sync theme. See for example “The Wizard at the green door.”
The repeated line “Don’t go back to sleep” reminded me of an email I received from WG last month that said, among a great many other things, “It’s time to wake up, Mr. Tychonievich. Wake up and smell the May flowers” — followed by a parenthetical acknowledgment that it was actually June at the time, not May. And that made me think of something from the previous June, posted in “Joan: Look out the window. Come over to the window”:
Joan: Look out the window.Joe: No. My eyes are closed, and I'm going back to sleep.Joan: Don't go to sleep now, Joe. Come look at the snow.Joe: Snow? It's only October. I know there's no snow. Leave me alone.
October is the wrong time of year for snow, just as June is the wrong month for May flowers.
Don’t worry, Rumi, or Joan. I have no intention of going back to sleep.

"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill

The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep."

The wording :"The dawn has secrets to tell you"
is interesting as REM sleep, which typically occurs
at dawn, is the time when our soul transcends the physical
body, as I personally believe
and have commented many times before.
The 'secrets', I personally believe, are found in
the Sacred Science knowledge spoken
in the Universal Language of symbolism,
numbers/gematria and archetypes
and are housed in the soul
and is where the Third Eye takes the helm during REM,
through the pineal gland.
Copy and paste: ( asterisks mine)
"Rapid eye movement or REM sleep is the ***fourth**
and final stage of sleep and is when you have your
most ****vivid and intense dreams.
REM sleep is characterized by increased brain activity,
****limited muscle movement,**** darting eye movement,
and fluctuating respiration and heart rate"

On its ( Dawn's) shadow side, Lucifer was the bringer of light
the morning star, the shining one, the son of dawn.

Note the number 4 in Hebrew is the Dalet, the doorway.
Copy and paste:
"Dalet is a Hebrew letter and symbolizes a door,
It suggests a gateway
or the energy or force which transfers us from
**** one state of being to another. "***
~~~~~~~~~~~
The wording: back and forth across the doorsill,
possibly could mean duality, at least to me,
as doors swing both ways i.e. back and forth.
The wording; 'two worlds touch', perhaps
symbolic of both the round door
of the Ouroboros and the Dalet
which are the same thing, that is, transition/transformation
going from one 'room' to another'.
The tail( in this case the serpent's tail)
is always the 'dark' part of the body.
Well, ah, this is... quite interesting.
Game-brained me took "wagon" and thought of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Its popularity, combined with numerous re-releases, led to the first minute of its opening cutscene becoming a meme -- the player is in a horse-drawn wagon, bound for execution (conveniently interrupted by the appearance of a dragon). Initially dissatisfied with the plain footage available on Youtube, I decided to try a memey version instead -- and laughed incredulously at the first one I opened, because snowball!

I believe that completion ( symbolic of the circle )
is where we find wholeness
and balance which has always been the quest
of the soul.
And last but not least,
I Greet the Dawn: Poems, a book of poetry written Paul Laurence Dunbar
"Dawn", a four-line poem from Lyrics of Lowly Life,
"An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
-Dawn by Paul Laurence Dunbar

I'm sure you know that Paul Laurence Dunbar
was from Dayton.
I personally believe that we 'sleep' to wake up
because even Slumbers can be Golden, no?
Note****
As I'm writing this comment up and ready to publish it,
in the background on youtube music, lo and behold
the Beatles song Till There was You began
playing.
Granted I had just searched Golden Slumbers
so as to copy and paste the https so as to link it
here, so I was not surprised that in the auto feed
another Beatles song would be next in the queue.
As a huge Beatles Fan, Till There was You was also
one of my absolute favs by the Beatles. I knew all
of the Beatles' songs and the lyrics word by word.
As I listened to :Till There was You ( which brought back
a lot of good memories ;-)) ) this stanza caught
my attention:
"Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me
In sweet fragrant meadows
****Of dawn and dew****
~~~~~
I thought, hmmm that's odd.
( whenever we say or think , hmmm, that's odd,
is a sign that the sync faires have just crossed our path).
Note that the Beatles version of Till there was You
was a cover song originally released by singer Peggy Lee.
Interestingly Till There was You was one of FIVE songs first
performed by the Beatles on their first appearance on
Ed Sullivan Show on Feb 9th 1964.
'Dem sync fairies be busy, no?

Regarding the landscape being unexpectedly white in the wrong month, cf. John 4:35.
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
William,
The harvest being in the ember/amber ( fire ) months in North America.
Water and Fire both baptism symbolism.
