Notes About The Poem
My stab at a syncopated Cinqopet Poem....
Whispers at Dawn
The silent stars yield to rosy light,
Soft shadows fade with the birth of sight,
A gentle hush, the world is made bright,
Hopes awaken with morning’s brew
Awash in dreams that wish adieu.
A golden breeze through the tall grass weaves,
Sunbeams shimmer upon dew-tipped leaves,
Petals open wide; the heart believes,
The promise of love softly said.
Upon each breath, resistance fled.
Beneath the lovely sky, vast and blue,
Footsteps wander where my wishes grew,
Every moment painted fresh and new,
Laughter rising, spirits abide
Kindness shining in all we tried.
Clouds drifting slowly, secrets they keep,
In the deep valley’s where willows weep,
Their stories told while the rivers sleep,
Rising tides under the full moon.
Where sweet memories run and swoon.
Evening descends with a gentle wink
Crickets sing as the fireflies blink
All the colors blend as daylight shrinks,
The hush of night drapes the open sky,
And dreams return for you and I.
Rhythm of love, a little bit shy!
