dawn commands the stirring hours
the source subtle and assertive
concealed and mysterious

zealous is the dark unable to abide
a quiet hush disturbs the night
as peaceful calm serenades
the approaching light

eerily entrancing unfolding
and all encompassing
horizon to horizon
in a thousand wooden trees
birds begin to twitter and chirp
announcing the anticipated

unhurried yet swift daybreak obliges
spreading the dawn as a sheet
of sheer white brilliance
skies above illuminate the stars
the color a royal robe of blue

darkness retracting in silent abdication
the bewitching purpose unfullfilled
yet again the dominion denied
stealth darkness withdraws
considering, anticipating, deliberating
resolving twilight's next breathe
