The Wakening

Dawn the Sun

The sky to dress

With glowing star

Break eve’s darkness

How long ’tis since

This eastern canvas

Caught my gaze

With orange and brilliance?

Colors: purple,

Pink and blue

Painting westward

Brush has strewn

From the warmth,

My cover, leaves

Winter’s chill

Upon my cheek

Lifted high

And hidden now

In gloomy robe

And murky cloud

Soon lying down

Over ocean’s waves

’Til you announce

Tomorrow’s day

Not many more

Your dusks will bring

The wakening;

Beauty in Spring
