The Feel of Dawn

You run with the breeze
naked spirit oh so free,
joyous tide of life
your smile I catch in the wind
with every single sunrise.

I sure am glad I read this after reading "the Face of Dawn"-- this is truly beautiful as well, loving how this one is so descriptive and alive- I could picture this perfectly. This was such a pleasure to read, and smiles on my face...

Reminds me of D.H Lawrence's freedom. Man can't be more free for expression. Love your comparison because it checks the type of freedom to be expressed by man. Love the motif of freedom. Greatly penned Harry. Love. Angel

Nothing like catching a naked runner before the sun rises. By the end of the week you must be exhausted.
