Dawn

As the sun rises
the fog burns away
and the surface is
revealed mirror-clear
reflection gently broken
by the haunting call of beauty

The Sun-path burns
blazing to my heart
stinging my eyes
and piercing the sleeping shroud
It's a new day; brilliant
Mercy on the wings of the dawn

I settle here my home
and all the shadows flee away
the light holds my heart
and dances awake my eyes
The melody sways the boughs
and life rushes to join
