Dawn's Prelude

The quiet spreads its silent serenity

over the charcoal and ivory landscape,

it breathes a tranquil touch

into the dark corners of dawn’s prelude,

soothing in its cool caress.

 

In the mist’s wispy mantle

hides the voices of birds and insect

their song echoing off the glassy lake

as a serenade that spins a spell,

flowing gently through the air,

rich in its blissful notes

that give a hush unto the mind

over what waits to greet the day.

 

Slowly the heart surrenders

unto the magic mix in shadows and light,

sensing Mother Nature’s hands

moving through the soft sheet of stillness,

until they embrace the senses

with calming waves.

 

Feeling the flush in euphoria’s fingers

comb over the pore in such peaceful strokes,

opening the mind to that special enchantment

only known before the sun rises in the sky.
