Sapphic Dawn

When one hears the morning call from chase valley
sounds of nature’s reveille upon the breeze
out of these chains that refuse to set one free
thrust of the dagger.

When I read this I thought of the sun as the dagger, piercing through the chains of night to set free ths day upon the valley.
