Carrie Richards Poet Free verse

Silent Hour

In the long silent hour before the break of dawn
I wake to gentle light within my heart

My drowsy eyes turn to wander
Where window gazing, finds a crescent moon 
Rifting the darkness, and against it's light
A magnolia branch is stenciled, black and keen
Three stars are tangled in the topmost bough...

And because deep loveliness is there,
I think of you.....
