Dawn's Answer

Over the city 
the sun begins its 
 trip 
Dawn's answer is 
    that 
life must begin anew
    The pale shadows 
which come with 
   nightfall 
Signal the end 
of daytime frolics
We live by the 
   silent music of the 
       sun 
One thousand and 
   one tales 
will be told 
in 
the 
future 
    but for now 
we must play a waiting game 
experience 
  sun and moon 
and feel their respective power 
as we float on 
   the ship of life

Yes, one thousand and one tales will be told in the future, but what about today.... The best things in life are free, like the beauty of the sun and moon. It's a shame that we don't stop and take advantage of them.... This is a beautiful poem, Matthew. I enjoyed it very much!

wow, I really like this one a lot. Because you mentioned the sun, which I adore. Loved that line "silent music of the sun"

Hi, Matt, yes in answer to your question: I have written a few stories. A few got small prizes in flash story contests in the SP Quill magazine. Let me see your poem here now.
