Disciple of the Dawn


Disciple of the Dawn

the Cocks are crewing
before the dawn
to make those who hear
aware that a new day approacheth

some crow all day
to bring notice
to those who still yet sleep
to take a peek
at life that is slipping by

the light is a fleeting gift
that is shifting
through darkness
the nomenclature
of Creation's foundation

the mystery of life
is spawned
from that place
we have yet to see
less more understand

i sit upon the balcony
listening
to the night noises
which is poised
to exacerbate my fears
but i fear not
for i know
this too
is from which
i have come
and i am still yet becoming
uncloaked
from my darkness

and the Cock Crew
3 times before the dawn
and i shant deny
that which has already been told
