A Dawn Remembered
Early morning I did wake
To gaze across a chilly lake
I then looked to the sky
That dropped a little lonely flake
The cold glistened in my eye
Though the furnace was nearby
My body felt what it saw
It made me shiver where I lie
The morning air, so crisp and raw
In its virginity was not a flaw
So pure and simple the day did start
That for a moment I stood in awe
This admiration is an art
That must come from your heart
This early morning I did wake
To watch this beauty fall apart.
