Untitled - July 31, 2004

It is the unforgiving light of dawn
that scattered the soft shadows
cast by moonlight
and traced by hazy eyes.

Moving from lingering sensation
to the newness of the morning -
where the silence of the night just past
is replaced by the uncertainty in daylight.

As the false dawn gives way
to the first rays of the morning,
a quick glance reveals
a new sensation -
where solitude has been exchanged
for acute awareness.
