The Gentle Before The Dawning
~*Marge Tindal*~

You come to me in soft stir of morning
Ignite my day … before the dawning
Touch me tenderly with words of adorn
whisper me awake … with a sigh
Then again … you fold me close
while I tell my dreams goodbye~

As I awaken to your kiss
I am reminded, love, of this
You are the very all of me
the truest reason why I live
The gentle before the dawning
reminding me … that to be loved
I need only … to love~

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram

Marge,  a most tender write...and such a
truth of an ending...for that is all one
has to do...

This is the first poem that I have had the pleasure of reading since Passions came back on line. What a love-ly poem! Love begets love! You are both so fortunate!

Love & Light,

Hello Marge

Your words were quite simply breathtaking.

Take care........Sue

I am blue

You all are so kind~
Thanking you from the heart of my little bottom~

It's just a wonderful day to be a poetess~
