Peace Of Dawn Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

We
We humans yearn
For peace
Though we stay
Taciturn so often
Not speak so often
Drown
In to the beauty of our
silences
The Port of Dawn
Is quiet
And taciturn too:
Small the quiet waves
Lap with the sand
And black-grey rocks
Where sirens sate themselves
Into last night:
We
We humans
So often
Let
Of our will
The grains of time-sand
Through our fingers pass
Falling
Falling
Undressing our wealth
Undressing our powers
Voluntarily:
And feel a joy
Rational
At hearing
the earth-chains
Breaking
Breaking.
