Day by dawn

Day by dawn

Dawn does not arrive

by the silence of drops,

water cannot give.

Dawn does not come

in the Sunshine of rise

and sunset, each evening.

It is no fog, no wind or air.

Dawn was, in a time,

time does not count

on my counter in the office.

Dawn is, every daylight,

a daughter,

a child cannot dream about.

It is the arrival,

deep fog had and has

in my hairs,

when I was alone in the woods.
