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

ReplyDeleteHi Kim, there is something beautiful and peaceful in the early morning hours. Thank you for reading.
