Notes About The Poem

PRIOR TO INTENT: Dawn's First Light

DAWN'S FIRST LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
silence at daybreak.
sacred encounter with the Divine, 
a conference of heart and soul.

beyond form, beyond language
heart beats, an echo, 
a pulse vibrating through the silence.

wordless intent, 
unvoiced 
yet profoundly clear~  

a stirring, 
a flicker of grace
captures the dawn.

my soul meets God's pulse
I am led
I am unbound.  

soul ascends
