In the Pre-Dawn
Virginia Salter

the morning came in darkness
its ebony engulfed me
yet I arose
and took my light into it
spent moments intrigued
in what I found
until the hour took its toll
and begged me return to sleep
silently I bid adieu
to the wonder
that came in my seeking
thus finding slumber
so much so to my liking

Yep, poetry has a funny way of doing strange things to us..... like waking us up in the middle of the night or early morning...... I'm sometimes waking up counting my fingers... Weird huh?  and no problems sleeping here... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  -Bob

ah, bob, is that what it is? I thought it was heartburn or too much caffeine.  

Cpat, sleeping in is so much more fun when you know you are, isn't it.

Cool poem. Sometimes I'll get up in the night and I'll be completly awake then plan my day and fall asleep on the couch never remembering one minute of the earlier. awaking.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

Hi!   This is my first day here and I'm enjoying the awesome poetic talents.... One being this very fine piece. Come morning I always hate to get up.... come night I'm always glad to return to sleep. This piece has a cyclic sound to it that I can associate with. I enjoyed it muchly...
Love and peace ((~.~))
