Sun-tipped Knowledge
In the faded fairy light
of the dawning morning,
I’ve called for you.
When the sun-touched Earth
begins to wake,
I’ve shouted repeatedly your name.
Soft, dew-full grass
dulled the pain in my knees
as I fell, beckoning your voice.
As the darkness recedes
and the bitter cold is banished,
I wait with patience on my lips.
And now my waiting is fulfilled
as the sun dares touch my brow,
betraying your lack of negligence.
