At Dawn

Awakening at dawn,
the sun's fingers unfolding,
trace rays of color,
across the far reaching hand,
of the sky.

Could a name be more befitting,
For a princess of such grace?
Shining like a heavenly star,
She fills your heart with hope and joy.

The hues of the northern lights,
Twinkling in her eyes,
As she gazes into your soul,
You will see it's reflection in her stare.

When she speaks to you of things,
In her woman-childish way,
Something reaches right from her soul,
And tugs at the strings of your heart.

Aurora is a reminder of all that has been,
And a hope for all that will be.
Mother Earth has been so kind,
To bless us with such beauty.

Early prose, pulled from the closet, circa 1996.
