dawn

Once again, Dawn

Morning exhales her golden breath
and indigo is chased to heaven’s rim.
While bright eyes alight to greet her,
the stars shudder, and dim.

on an overcast dawn
a robin still
bursts with song

morning light warms
the coldest nights
and banishes
a dream renounced

Dawn

waiting for dawn to arrive
for once, I am the early party

Urban sunrise

a reflection of sun off
the building across
the street
is my dawn
in the city

A night of tossing, turning
Over the pea beneath the mattress
Over choices which don’t fit quite right
Brings dark circles
And a dawn slept through

Overhead, the sky
Slowly, gold tones permeate
A wren pipes his song
