Dawn's Serenade

Skyline explosions alive with firework stars basking in the glory of the naked sky

As moonlight falls to the dawn's arise, bowing out I ask my love why?

Shadows cloud the view of the dreamer as mist descends

Yet even loving eyes' can no longer be blind to an obvious truth

The winding road eventually will straighten

The path reaching it's destination

I know now where our road leads

Past the signs and red lights that lit the way

The warnings I paid little heed or attention to

And now in the midsummer moonlight of our love's first kiss

I see the Sun breaking through

Her call sorrowful and reflective

Her words a painful serenade to lovers

She brings forth the birth of a new morn

With the old promises lost as the day is gone

For once her song is heard

The chorus echoing in the silence of our single moment

Tis the end of the road for you and I

It's so sad that the passion is erased by dawn, Julie. A heartbreaking but vividly penned poem!
