Before Dawn Poem by Mari Martin

The sky awakens
light caressed by my dreams
lingering in eyes that are shaded
lashes full
laden with the waters of my heart.

Dreams
mountains of mystery
shrouded in the mists of entrancement
rise to touch the sky.
Their embrace is Love
Their breath a whisper of promise.

When does remembrance cry?
Does our heart have it's own memory
a hidden river
a gift to our thoughts
gently wrapped with the ribbons of life
to be opened when we dream?

Eyes of mine be still.
Do not let your lashes dance
with the songs of day
adorned in silken veil
that steal as a thief
the dreams that rest upon you.

Glittering rays of sunlight
take not the moments of in between
from me.
Cast your brilliance across these walls
like a thousand lamps
flickering in the night.

Oh daybreak,
as a maestro would bring to life
this heart's songs,
written notes on the paper of my soul,
stand in the shadows,
lift your wand
to cast the magic upon this moment.

Bring to me the melodies
that are the stars in the water of my tears
held to my lashes
and their dreams of Love
that linger there.
