1384

 [image from google]

Dawn holds mystery of silence,

Based on what is known,

What is remembered,

What has not so long ago passed,

The sunset which slipped behind the horizon,

The silver linings to host,

A day moon before, 

The raucous, of birdsong,

And my pen writing.

    LOVE it all and most especially those last three lines!!!
    Ah yes.....so many mornings in our beloved Provincetown (on the very tip of Cape Cod), I was up early enough to sit on our deck and watch the sun rise. It was usually me and a lone seagull on the beach. That silence is beautiful! Almost a meditation to center oneself for the day.

    I enjoyed your ‘mystery of silence’, Gillena, especially the ‘sunset which slipped behind the horizon’, the raucous birdsong and pen writing. Early morning is the best time for writing.

    “My pen writing” at the end feels like a quiet metaphor for one's whole inner life waking up. Nicely done Gillena 👏

    I really love this one, Gillena. 💙 This could be me appreciating that day moon and raucous birdsong that we're just beginning to get here.
