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.....
