darkest before the dawn

 

 

just as it is darkest before the dawn

affecting an echo of that chaste night

one day in the earliest moments of first light

not a cloud in sight

as the stars lost their light

I saw a clear sky in such stillness

the full moon fell full to the west

the new day sun rose in the east

prized harmony more touching than words

singing now all the multitudes of life

both imply that they know they are in my eye

in an unattainable, unconcealed manner
soaring blue of summer as purple hue drops away
a home for the forsaken morning dove to pursue
