DAWNRISE SONG      

   
    
     outside    
this room    
     dawn spreads    
softly    
     on dewy    
grass    
     where last night s
silver moonlight    
     danced    
in silent splendor    
    shedding freely    
its seductive    
     luminous light    
through night s
     receptive    
tranquil still    
     now as sun    
returns again    
     ascending slowly    
beyond my sight    
     i too  slowly    
rise up from    
     the distance    
of my quickly    
     fading dreams    
as gold light    
     fills and illumines    
each crystalline drop  
     of night born  
diamond dew  
     like countless      
scattered    
     precious jewels    
symbolic of    
     brief promises    
of fresh renewal    
     and new    
beginnings    
     still yet    
themselves    
     to come
wherein
     even before
they do
     or can
it seems    
     i hear some    
faint  sweet song    
     of ancestor s
long forgotten    
     calling    
their haunting    
     melodies echo on    
so deep within    
     my bones    
so familiar    
     to my soul    
their resonance    
     interweaves    
in sync    
     with my resting    
heartbeat    
     tugging like    
some restless    
     tide    
at the very core  
     of my    
open being    
     just as each    
full moon    
     pulls and tugs    
at sea tides    
     to recede    
so far from    
     shores they know    
so too each    
     new day s sun s
passing orb    
     tugs and pulls    
at mine    
     to help me    
find my way    
     back home    
to consciously    
     recall    
that i am    
     one with all    
and so i    
     heed its    
inner call    
     surprised    
to find  upon    
     awakening    
up from    
     the distance    
of my quickly    
     fading dreams    
that i am    
     still humming    
the circular    
     refrain    
in the haunting    
     melodies of    
some faint    
     sweet song    
of ancestor s
     long forgotten    
spirits calling    
     to help me    
find my way    
     back home    
far beyond    
     outside this room  
where dawn    
     spreads softly    
on dewy grass    
     and last night s
silver moonlight    
     danced    
in silent splendor    
     shedding freely    
it s seductive light    
     through night s
receptive    
     tranquil still    
where sun now    
     slowly returns again    
to fill and    
     illumine each    
crystalline drop  
     of night born  
diamond dew  
     with it s touch
of golden light    
     like countless    
scattered      
     precious jewels    
symbolic of    
     brief promises    
of fresh renewal    
     and new    
beginnings    
     hopefully still
yet to
     come
