First Light ~

At the first light the scene changes 

the darkness and shadows fade slowly 

and with that fading go the fears 

of the quiet, ominous night ~

on the terrace the dew is heavy 

and the light gleams of the silvery line 

soft sounds of people waking 

rustle of sheets and eyes opening ~

river sounds, leaves becoming aware 

of sunlight and a light breeze ~

angels that flew down last night 

and ministered to the lonely 

to the sad and fearful 

have closed their eyes 

and tucked in their wings 

they fade slowly 

into the brightening light ~
