Carrie Richards Poet Verse

Chased By the Dawn

In the downy-soft hours, where dawn hovers near,  
Night's uncovered dream, must disappear.   
Once, delivered, then replaced,    
Never to be traced,    
Drifting on,  
Chased,   
By the dawn.    
Fantasies misplaced,  
Become silver clouds, erased.   
Lost in forever, quite far from here,   
In the downy-soft hours, where dawn hovers near
