Dawn

Standing on the cliff
  looking out over the ocean
    watching the waves slamming against the shore

Feeling the waves of emotion
  slamming against my soul
    drowning in the visions rolling in with the tide

Turning to gaze at the horizon
  looking at the distant line
    watching the sun splashed water of a rising dawn

Feeling the rising of laughter
  splashing within my heart
    cleansing my soul and thoughts, rising in delight

Finally, walking away from the edge
  looking to the path in front of me
    watching where I step, lest I fall into night

Feeling the golden waves
  skipping from the memories
    now bright in the mornings pure light of welcome
