Suddenly the Dawn

  

Suddenly the Dawn

I must have set my sights upon

Enduring the winter nights,

Forgetting the natural turning

Of my orbiting home.

Did the earth cross some stellar threshold,

Or was that turning at work

Even in my darkness?

However it was that her course was plotted,

A new day arose

When suddenly the dawn

Cast her soft light in the early hours

Where darkness had heretofore been the expectation.

A turning of the season

Brings expectation of light.
