Morning Blinds

 The gray mist of dawn
holds back the light
awaiting the song of
the mourning doves
soothing coo-coo

slow, sleepily the dreamer
awakens in the stillness
of the softening fringes
between yawning moon
and winking sunlight

lifting the morning blinds
greeting the new day

  1. These lines are just stunning:
    ...the softening fringes
    between yawning moon
    and winking sunlight

    Sigh. So beautiful.

  7. You’ve described my favourite time of day so beautifully in your quadrille, Truedessa. I especially love the ‘softening fringes between yawning moon and winking sunlight’.
