As night's soft-fingered stroke sedates
the anxious throb of slow decay,
I toss my cloak of pale regrets
and sink in dark momentum's sway.

Then dawn peeks in, all misty-eyed,
to shyly lift the languid shade.
She steps across my threshold view
and lays the welcome mat she made.

A wafting scent of wonder seeps
from drops of purity that slide
on petals yet unmarred. I rise
to navigate the waiting tide.

My tiny sail will catch the wind
and cross each rolling circumstance.
My moments lap on pristine shores
beneath the day's expectant glance.

I really like the images and soft feel of this. Very well written, one of my favorites so far.

oooo, lary; this is so exquisitely lovely..poetry at it's sublime!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
