AS DAWN BREAKS
22 September 2011

Wafting in moons ago imaginings
to the whispers of the dawn
as it tiptoes over the shy horizon
gifting dancing flowers
with natural gold
while the sleeping night
in dreams
dares to ask forgiveness
for its wanderings.

"to the whispers of the dawn

The wanderings, forgiven or not, are vital to some of us.  Mayhap forgiveness is not necessary, but merely acceptance.  There's many moons ahead too.

Dawn quite often takes me by surprise--but even more so when its praises are sung by an Owl.

You seem so connected to the planet that I marvel that you can walk at all.

You're kind of a natural wonder all on your own, yanno.

Love you lady.

Thanks, JL.

Thanks, Ruth.

Thank you, Michael.  There was forgiveness – more no need for forgiveness.  Smiles.

Thank you, Margherita.

Thank you, Misty Lilacs.

Thank you, Ken.

Thank you, Karen.  I loved your praise, your knowing me so well, the so very special content of what you said as anyone who knows me can imagine, the smiles, the hugs and, of course, your love, but most of all, your kindness.  It is kindness that grows me best.
