You You are the dawning’s first born shade of light The flush of rose invading skies of night Soft purple hues around the mountain’s edge The golden casts that touch the canyon’s ledge You are the morning mist upon the bay That lifts its curtain to expose the day You are the piercing warmth of platinum beams That wedge their way into my morning dreams You are the sun, the heat, the light of life You kissed away the tears of dark and strife You came into my world and turned around The bearing of the place where I was bound You sailed me on the silver crested sea Toward crimson skies and waves that cradled me When twilight fell upon the sailing ship Sweet words of love unspoken touched your lip Then all the stars came out to greet the night And all my darkness turned to beams of light You placed among the heaven’s twinkling flames The stars in constellations of my name And there it shone til dawn’s sweet purple hue Poured o’er the mountain’s edge in shades of you Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 06-08-2001).] |
