Dawn


A gift,

An empty space

To retreat,

To rethink, respond,

To recall, understand.


Stand still and listen,

The wind,

The voice of the trees,

Words of love

You should have spoken,

Pathways still to follow.


Stand still and listen again,

To the silence

You have yet to hear,


The song,

The blackbird,

The dawn.
