Maiden of DawnA Poem by Chayu DamsingheA poem metaphorically describing the beauty of the dawn. However this metaphorical representatio is a metaphor in itself, since the dawn here metaphorically alludes to a young woman, and how I see herWith night's dusk, the world awake, The light of stars, now retake. No more they dream, no more they sleep, From tender touch, the new green weep. And soft new light, her eye's glow, Her warm glee spreads, soothing, slow. With gentle smile, and fingers warm, With joyous frisk, the young day roam. And with her gait, the world refresh, Her singing warm, music's thresh'. The tender heat, laughter free, At her glance, shadow flee. The morning's light, and melody's ray, Life she gives, to all that lay. With fire kissed, her hair's glow, To earth, her life and glee, flow. With light's bloom, and warmth tall, Heaven's princess, the earth her hall. Young day's eye, morning's fawn, Child of sky, maiden of dawn.
