Dawn

       Dawn

 

Before sparrows sing

Stillness settles in the eves.

Time lapses if stalled and

Humans slumber in tranquility.

But I, I rejoice

In the night sky’s resilience where

Silence curves around the edges

Slipping into my snug fitting robe.

Where solace blankets,

Peace lingers, ever present, abiding

My mind, devoid of clutter

Revels in the intoxication of solitude.

Sacred hours melt into dawn

And I, I greet the world anew.
