The Witness of Daybreak
Listen to poem:
The Witness of Daybreak
David J Walker
I
I am guilty of such foolishness
As waiting for the
first rays
Of the dawn
On the cusp of a calm
Spring morning
All alone
II
I atone again
And again waiting
For them
The loved ones to begin
To come home
III
We are ghosts
Intruding
On the current living
In a house that was
Once ours
IV
While some unknow theirs
Who stop and stare back
Into the obis
Wondering if it is us
And
Of course it
Who else
V
I am guilty of seeking pleasures
Over
The satisfactions of
Hard work
Such foolishness
the witness to
The breaking of
The day
