the morning greets you tentative
new pages yet to turn
will you pause to scorn the dawn
or will you pause to yearn
yearn this day might be the one
where love will conquer fear
yearn for these hours to endure
with those whom you call dear
as we sit considering
what we may wish to do
might we also wonder if
the day yearns yet for you
what might the day wish to explore
where darkness did once cover
where does the day long to embrace
as greeting distant lover
as the dawn crawls slowly up
locates you in her gaze
does she find you resisting
or one with gracious praise
deep breaths now, as all arise
the night you have endured
walk in the light given today
tomorrow less assured
