.........
Patience Brings the Dawn
Night comes, so soft on cats paws
as evening breezes whisper
Stars in a ghostly curtain
light my path down the mountain
to the river and the sea
where surf rolls on a small beach
to await the rising moon
oh heart you are so weary
as tattered as your old soul
too many miles on life’s road
the tears have washed your way
and left only ancient pain
I ponder this as I rest
there upon that lonely beach
awaiting glorious dawn
