Pre-Dawn

 

 
In those mellow hours of pre-dawn
When the sky's a dusky maiden
whose nubile blush has only just
                                                    set in.
When the moments roll languidly by,
Every moment seeming the uncertain
                                                        last
before vanishing into the cauldron
of eternity; a slight pause, and then
                                                 it's gone
Dissappearing like links of an
                                   infinite chain.
 
In those moments that but last
a speck; you think of all the past
Thoughts you had seen, people you've known -
Dawn painting them in its myriad tones.
 
And all the walls you had built -
In tortuous moments of anger and guilt
All unruly thoughts you had felt
break up to meet and melt
sans rage, sans heat
under each stroke of the brush
that makes the ones the us -
as the hole in the wall receives
                                          the rivers
and render the us timely forgivers
And we are all whole again -
sans sorrow, sans tomorrow, sans pain.
