5141 An Angel of Dawn 03 March 2006 Where beauty was an angel of this dawn May God bless her in those deep infinite feelings of friendship Her life of present - stars to shine this power of words gifted to light A fire burning - unknown to devise within prayerful surroundings Canaan made Precipitation as to Atlantic waves this Pacific of Southern Ocean divide Her heart the river - blood in purity refined as to an ore structured forth Upon a current unlike any before yet favoured in tender eyed being No vail would enclose her spirit this beauty - an angel of this dawn “But the love you gave me will always live You'll always be there every time I fall You are to me the greatest love of all You take my weakness and you make me strong And I will always love you ‘til forever comes” Lyrics by Celine Dion - Song: Goodbye’s (the saddest word) Album: New Day Has Come POET's NOTE: Ever wondered why I use the Clock as my icon: This was because my time is far ahead of all the world. My New Zealand born days being, the first day of each day the world over, so in that contrast, the date of the above wooks, may look as if it was composed in the future of others in time. a poet who cares |

Her heart the river - blood in purity refined as to an ore structured forth I love this line... of course, I am an old river rat, but that aside.. the river is the heart, and I am never happier than when I am watching her change and flow and give life. Enjoyed reading this. Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

in perhaps making a study of my form of poetry. I can be unsure if the line upon line portion can be seen. How the above line will lead into the one below. However in my case I am using the word "Canaan" to act as a metaphor in relation to Canada. From that comes the divisions in water, over the distance between my country of New Zealand and that of Canada. The river extends from the outlet of Oceans and the blood represents water in type of fluid. In this case the vision of a row boat in the river, takes up the ore, in terms of twisting a meaning, through an alternative of spelling. Then comes the current, while the final part is more connected with a Bible scripture quote, in relation to Rachel and Leah. (thus back to the Canaan or Genesis connection) a poet who cares |
