Dawnings

Before dawn, early, you were there  
Dreams, thoughts, memories    
Awash with the sunrise
The cool yet warm of summertime    
Breathing  
Bird songs, greens
The tender, soft of blueing sky  
Deep shadowed beneath the trees  
Echoes of swift fleeing night  
   
And I wonder if you think of me  
As I do you  
As I do you  
In these moments when stillness lies  
Unbroken seal on heart wished dreams  
   
Dream of me as I think of you  
In thoughts which live and breathe  
Whose moment whisper awakenings  
Of all that yet shall be  
   
You the very summer air  
The dream, the dawn  
Slow southern drawled  
Like backwoods streams  
And stirring breeze  
All drifting to their purposed end  
   
Be there for me
