"Come The Dawn..."

“Come The Dawn…”

 

Step, pivot …step…

pause…breathe…

look toward the East,

watch the sky -

watch,

wait, wait for it…

step, step,

feel my heart beat

feel…

feel…breathe

pause

- whisper "…bye…"

 

Step, pivot …step…

Face away,

face away - don’t turn

don’t look - can’t see anyway -

never see

ever see - shiver, feel

shivershake breathe

step, step.

Dawns a l w a y s come

always comes

Forever

Evermores -

are always mysts…

 

Listen to one heart… beat,

exhale slowly.

Step, step

another and another

blink the eyes clear

…pause…breathe…

step, pivot …step…

Face away,

Face away…

- whisper

You always whisper

always a whisper

always a myst…

 

always 

…comes

…the dawns

you breathe such wonderful poetry, Chris.

the raven at your door all night, till dawn...there is a heaviness, and then...we can finally turn around and look...clear skies, words on paper...the poem arrives with the light---

And we walk on
because life draws us
draws our breaths
draws our steps
we walk on
because it is what we do

I like that you breathe and write, and write and breathe :)

no dream is perfect.. and yet I would cling.. even beyond the dawn..
