Earliest of Morning Light

In the earliest of morning light When birds have not yet taken flight The sun so low a shadows’ might Escapes an eagle perfect sight When the earth in leisured chill Each valley dank along each hill And longing stripped of lovers' will With every dreamer dreaming still An angel through that black long eve He holds a trembling hand to grieve And in the moment make-believe The rising sun will not deceive Doorways dim must stand and wait This tragic timely twist of fate

Dear Francis, your poem reflects wonderful use of imagery that is rich, deep and contemplative. The "earliest of morning light" right before dawn provides magical moments where dreams, introspection and realization can merge and separate in pensive, wistful and hopeful ways. Beautiful! Congratulations for your success in Rob's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
