The Break of Day

daybreak grounds me
the horizon blushes
an end to night's passion
as the dawn unfolds my dreams

it seems
you own my mind
all my thoughts tumble
like autumn leaves
in winded breaths
whispered through darkness

i dance gracefully 
in memories of you
blushed with a desire
i cannot explain
and linger
in the afterthoughts
as day breaks

This is a true beauty. Dawn poems are by far my favorites and I have added this one to mine to re-read. Thanks for all your recent visits to my page. I am swamped these past few weeks and December is so busy with sending cards and all the holiday business. take care.

This is so elegant and totally disarmed me. So many favorite phrases, but how about "I dance gracefully in memories of you." Altogether marvelous and memorable.
