For Monica

DAWN WATCHERS

Oh Dawn, translucent

tapestry of colors and luscious jewels

Come, Aurora, share with us

the light and the morning's dew

On your velvet cloak that brightly brings

the promise of hope anew this day

Shame the night devoid of hue

your mystic canvas

Nature's hand, divine the force

The palette of heaven, anxious

for the master's stroke, awaits

Then, in the east there comes a ray

it strikes the blow, the black to fade

And from the west, a mighty glow

the embers of love reborn, eternal flame

that fades with night and glows in the sky

Crescent moon watches all,

Venus, too, from high above.
