In dawn

In dawn

A child, was too early.

Dawn was not there, already, not yet.

In dawn, she saw the light of her eyes

the feeling of a heartbeat and the hope of her father.

She had a lot of grace, all these years

by humans who had lost their profession.

Words do not catch the first morning light

but someone who understands the forest, has it All.

She walked, away but never lost sight of her Home.

She turned her back on the darkness, forever, ever.

She did not run, but saw a new morning, a new Sun

in the water of her silent eyes and had one great Day!
