Orchestral Dawn
For I woke from sleep after a burning dream
and the need for cold air to breathe.
I opened a window to see the darkness
lose its hold over the horizon and trees.
The quiet of night played subtle tones
through the movement of a train along the tracks.
I saw this lit snake slithering fast like prey
with a hawk upon its back.
Sudden orchestral tones erupted out of sight.
The quiet owned by night was broken
by sounds that captured daylight’s initial magic light.
Beautiful songs and rhythmic tunes
seemed to fill the massive sky.
I closed my eyes, felt a cool breeze,
and listened as nature called
a new day from the night.
