First Awake! Awake, sweet dawn, divine and fresh Let flowers taste your scent and breathe your breath Unspoiled by the blazing summer light Untouched by sounds that drown the still of night I’ll walk into the colors yet unborn Before the sun erupts into the morn I’ll savor fragrances while wet with dew In indigo of dark before the blue The palette of my eye will paint the scene My foot will step upon a field of green Before the wildflowers can arise I’ll lift the yellow petals with my eyes The sun awakes, as eye of dappled fawn But I was first to breathe this lovely dawn Elizabeth Santos May 3, 2003 |

Liz, it's always so good to read your calming, inspiring pieces. And this is gorgeous! I especially love the line: "The sun awakes, as eye of dappled fawn." Thank you for being a poet. I'm saving this~ Take care, Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Til breath of dawn, that brief eternity God's sacred Realm embraces only me. You love dawn as much as I do, Lizzy...  |
