The Dawning

Blue moon shines down low

where the shimmering glaze of snow

-hides the souls of the land

Whispers fill the white wilderness

where each shadow weeps of emptiness

-but the ground brims with muted spirits

The sky explodes with streaks of radiant light

and bare trees sparkle with great might

-as the surface ascends towards the heavens

In a single burst the icy soil opens and shoots high

and a veil rushes to cover the celestials on nigh

-leaving behind the void and the darkness

The once-hushed voices immerse the air with melodic chorus

as each star wakes to twinkle in rhythmic consensus

-the liberated then rise to join as one with the multitude above

Joyful singings slowly fade to a quiet breeze

and the now hollowed earth lies in a peaceful ease

-a phoenix drifts towards the blushing horizon, carrying a birch tree leaf

Carrie Ann G,
Thank you for your lovly effort of poetry. How many times I have felt a voice or truth being shared but could not quite bring it to the surface. This writing really spoke. Blessings and thanks so much........kathy

In quietness and rest there is much hidden but nonetheless real. Inspiring narrarative detailing the busy and precious goings on of a reality we do not see. Dreaming is where is t starts. Very inspirational.
