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.
