Aurora At Dawn

While duskfall pierces minted morning air 
Adorning trees with gracious loveliness:
Sunlight braids pinkish ribbons in her hair,
Indulgent as a reticent caress.

How Aurora is but a breath away, 
While embroidered leaves flutter in the sun--
So crystalline- white is their mellow play
Where all godly wishes of hope are spun.

I wonder if such charms are a worldly dream 
Linked to just one immense eternity
A lucent decoration on  rails of stream;
Captured in the glow of day's tapestry? 

I  know not, yet my benign spirits rise 
So I lift my heart to feel sweet dawn's first kiss... 
Responding to the glaze before my eyes 
For all seems right on mornings such as this.
