Dawn Poem by James Casey

Dawn

Dawn awoke and wiggled her toes
In a sheer gown of crimson rose

Stretched and yawned then sat awhile
Bathed the earth with her radiant smile

She stood and meandered slowly up the hill
Dispersed the shadows and the lingering chill

Near a small cottage far far below
Where corn was gathered from fields that grow

The rooster's crow then shattered that bliss
As lovers stirred for ones first kiss

It's here, it's here, they said with a sigh
Dawn is here, kiss the darkness goodbye
