Toward Morning's Horizon
by
Laryalee Fraser
As night's soft-fingered stroke sedates
the anxious throb of slow decay,
I toss my cloak of pale regrets
and sink in dark momentum's sway.
Then dawn peeks in, all misty-eyed,
to shyly lift the languid shade.
She steps across my threshold view
and lays the welcome mat she made.
A scent of wonder slowly seeps
from drops of purity that rest
on petals yet unmarred. I rise
to navigate the waiting crest.
My tiny sail will catch the wind
and cross each rolling circumstance.
My moments lap on pristine shores
beneath the day's expectant glance.
