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
