"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the door-sill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep".
- Rumi.
Upon opening her eyes, it was there…
cotton white and pastel pink, swimming in a
background of ocean blue.
She wondered how many mornings this
same sky had waited to greet her…or perhaps
there was a unique sky that commenced with each dawn...
how would she know, unless she took notice?
Gazing out at the clouds, she smiled, recalling a game she
and her sister had played as children, and as she drew in a deep breath,
The wrap-rounds work so perfectly. Such a great message to enjoy the gift of every second of life. Spec' at dawn. Or is that with Dawn. :) (-.-) Beautiful poetry and quote. xx
THE CALM AND SERENE ESSENCE OF THIS WORK...REACHES OUT AND 'ANOINTS' THE READER WITH...'HIS' PEACE. A DYNAMIC SHARING...SO INSPIRING AND, FOR ME, TIMELY. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS, DAWN. 'DAWN'...IT IS NOT BY PURE CHANCE THAT YOU ARE NAMED SO. LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS...
This has such a snapshot feeling to it, as if we've walked in on some private scene, and that honesty combined with an ethereal quality make for a delightful poem. Hope you are well, Dawn xxx :) Blessings, Michelle
Lovely! We must appreciate the beauty that surrounds us ... we must take the time. I like your tracing of butterfly wings. Beautiful images, Dawn. ~Hugs, Elizabeth
This is so true. I love watching the dawn creep in on angels' wings...setting the sky aglow with a palette of soft pastels. I think that because fewer people see the sunrise's they are made special for those who gaze upon them.
I see an angel in the sky. gorgeous. And she came to greet an equally gorgeous girl as she awoke from her slumber. You are so beautiful and you can't help but share it with those of us who are awake and who look for it in you. Many blessings, J'nia <> <
..funny, Camryn my 2 year old Grandaughter called me on the cell phone,(riding w her Mom)"Gramma, I see a lion and baby ones, they all love each other" ...the magic of clouds...love this Dawn~
Beautiful, silken poem ~ I truly love the ending and message.
"The breeze at dawn..." is one of the poems I say to myself each morning at breakfast. Another of my favorites each morning is "Don't sit with indifferent people..." I love Rumi quotes to help get the day off to a daring start!
You are a poet I will read often.
Blessings,
Christine
Dawn, Yesterday of course you know, was the Summer solstice...I am always affected by nature..This morning, after a restless night, I woke up at exactly "dawn"...I never get up this early, I write late at night when my muses are alive and kickin..I got up went to the bathroom, and decided to stay up. As Rumi says, don't go back to sleep, such wise words, I am so grateful to have been able to welcome this day in at that early hour..You are right, there are secrets in the breeze at dawn... Lovely write for me to read on this special morning in Connecticut...I love your writing and it always speaks to me with "your secrets", my friend...

We are so busy with "living" that we forget to notice the important things in life. Thank you for sharing, Dawn. Love and best wishes to you,

Nothing so beautiful as a morning sunrise. Who wouldn't want to get up upon seeing such beauty?

As a very early riser, I believe that's true.
Peace, love and light,
