Just before dawn...
it is the time when the cloak of darkness lay like a thick blanket
attempting to smother the soon approaching rays of dawn’s light

It is the time of silence...
when only your thoughts penetrate the minutes that tick by
and are soon to leave this glorious peace behind

The world is still and quiet...
your day is not awake yet, and not for hours will the wheels roll
with humanity’s noise bombarding the space we call everyday life

It is right now...
and for a few splendid moments you have time to listen to the night bird’s serenade
to feel the ancient beat of life in your soul, forming the symphony that is you

It is all there, waiting
in the darkness that is
Just before dawn...



The road goes on forever, and the stories never end!

Ooohhhhhhhh...oh Sunnyone, we've all missed you soooooooo much, it's so great to see you again, this is gorgeous! (kiss on cheek) I love the morning, especially right when the sun is about to go up, so I can see the colors of the new day! We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are sunshine to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Sunny:
Sure did miss you and your beautiful words.  The quiet of the morning is the best and you have read all of our thoughts.  Keep writing - waiting for the next one.

Sunnyone - this is a beautiful piece. I really enjoyed reading. Chris

My favorite time used to be midnight, but yes, I believe it is just before dawn
which is why this caught my eye, that and I was so glad to see you again!
