* Awakening Before Dawn

dawn awaken

Gentle awakening before dawn

Lingering tranquil shades of grey

Enveloping warmth 

Soft familiar smells

Breathing it all in

Light probing gently

Easing slowly into the day

Knowing you are home

is the most precious way to be

    Very nice, Val!
    For some reason, I’ve started becoming a morning person, and have discovered some of what you’ve captured in your words.
    Thank you.

    All I might add to this most perfect of poems, is:

    Knowing you are home
    is the most precious way to be
    Hearing the gentle breathing of your deeply loved dog
    The warmth of this most special bond
    This is home way beyond
    one’s most precious dream.

    I’m back home. This morning, as I floated in that in between time of darkness to light and all the shades of dawn, I recalled this post.
