The Child of a Poet

I watched it take form in the womb of the morning
Carving its figure in deep early mist
Before any shadow could darken its presence
Before the sweet moment when lips would be kissed

The child of a poet’s the child of the morning
So tender and fragile, transparent in truth
What other infant could render such beauty
And dazzle the eyes with the splendor of youth

I watched it  take form in the womb of the morning
Illusive as butterflies rare to be caught
It lifted my pen from the deep shades of slumber
Awakening me to the birth of a thought

You might actually have inspired me to try to get out of bed before 10!

Beautiful Lizzie.
