A Dawning Glow

Inspiration: but most of all I like to see the morning happen . . . Richard Taggart Beneath the sullen sky the shore lies still, The pebbles huddled as the moon takes flight, A cooling breeze whispers its airy trill, While breaking waves recall another night. The night we lay speechless upon the beach, Fragmented eyes reflect our passion spent, The ways of love that once seemed beyond reach had come to the tune of the sea’s lament. I heard you breathe within the ebb and flow, As nubile fingers touched a gentle sigh, And there, in that moment, we reached the sky To see the sun reveal the dawning glow. We saw it happen, we saw morning break, As we lay quite still in the tidal wake. Form: Australian Sonnet
