Edge Of Dawn

She takes a little wishful thinking to the only light found
Straight to the first star against that sky to be seen
Drifting into eternity even if in her own mind
She finds the sweetness that only exists in dreams...

So unaware to the stare towards the worlds blanket overhead
Time wrapped itself around the hours without end
In matter of moments the whole world will know she's through praying
It's anything but replaceable finding hope being natures friend...

Alone again doing what she so knows best
Hanging on for dear life to the edge of dawn without rest
But, it gave way to places and faces out there
She felt time give praise to her longing in night air...

Time doesn't take back where she wants to be
Running along fields God places in the distance ahead
Freedom rings louder then the words from the mouth of the wise
As she clings tenaciously before daybreak spreads...

One can hang on when the miles lead you to kinder rivers
Break free from a days plea there on the edge of dawn
Just lingering in constant reminder of a much more powerful place
Just where night's slipping into daylight coming along...

Unreal to the self but clearly part of the heart at last
She absorbed that moon and on it's much kinder path
To where gold is still every bit harsh to the eyes
But, soothing to the soul and thoughts held inside...

There's nothing like breathing somewhere on the edge of dawn
Where imagery of the wonderful is never gone
Something in awesome just before the sun's about to rise
For, it tends to cease a dreamers cry...

Saunni,
There's nothing like breathing somewhere on the edge of dawn
Where imagery of the wonderful is never gone
Wonderful words, enjoyed.

Something in awesome just before the sun's about to rise

This is my favorite time of day...its too bad that I usually sleep through it...
but on the other end of the day, just before the sun sets...it looks pretty much the same with the shadows falling in the opposite direction......I usually catch that one, and hang on to it's beauty all night....

I love your writing, Saunni...
