Morning Light



Rising to fading stars
and a night that is surrendering
to the quiet of the morning
before the day fully wakes.

This is a time of day
that only a select may know
as nighttime is shuttered
to morning light streaming in.

It’s that time of day
when dreams are still realized
before the light of day
can steal them away.

Nothing is ever the same
after this time has passed
when the first light of morning
turns night into day.
