Father of the Ripening Dawn

May peace follow you-said the half naked lady that breathed life into the night Return the calm you took from me, fair lady of the sky Every night I see you- Just as I saw you with my lover, And just as I saw you with my grief Become new or I will cease the dark- the dark permitting your presence My presence is vowed said she- See me not but you will feel the light of my soul. Tomorrow I will become new- You will always feel my pull, father of the ripening dawn To extract me from your being is to cease your own existence
