Dawn

Dawn

A Poem by Ruth Y. Nott

 

dawn –
when light first
breaks the darkness,
a time of contemplation and
prayer, when feathers ruffle and
fledglings peep, when nesting squirrels
stretch and descend to begin a day of foraging
and play, when the silence of the night gives
way to the cacophony of the day, when your
senses awaken to the touch of the sheets,
the scent of jasmine on the breeze,
the snoring of the dog at your feet,
when eyes, unwilling to open,
beg for a few more moments
of sleep and you tongue tries
to moisten your lips
and you frown at
the taste of
dawn
