Awake The dawn has opened up her clouded eye And gathered raindrops sprinkled from the sky She stirred the mist that settled in the night And raised her head to kiss the edge of light An antlered buck stood grand and statuesque His robust silhouette was firmly pressed Against the pinkish sky and shadowed deep On fields, a figure stenciled black and steep His marble eye was hypnotized and gazed To where the darts of light had pierced the haze For when the darkness of the night was done His chest basked full and pompous in the sun The dawn had woken up a fresh new day Before it tiptoed silently away It roused the earth to sight and touch and sound And prancing hoof across the dewy ground Elizabeth Santos April 1, 2004 |

The dawn had woken up a fresh new day Before it tiptoed silently away It roused the earth to sight and touch and sound And prancing hoof across the dewy ground Liz, it's so good to read you...  Good morning! Thank you for such a beautiful read! |

Absolutely beautiful, Elizabeth! Love that iambic pentameter too! I'm awake, waiting for that first light to get on the road! I fell asleep waaaay too early last night and have been up since 3 a.m. See you all soon! |
