Question: Do you have time to sit a while!?
Before Dawn
by C!.S!. Scotkin

Back out on the porch
rocking in my chair,
cats sleeping at my feet
day’s promises are fair!.

Sun has yet to rise
sit and let the dark
breezes sneak through screens
softly find their mark!.

Permeate my space
silent sounds so strong
as peace enters in
know that I belong!.

You do like your dawns!. Do I see a Folgers commercial in the making as the sweet breeze wafts with the delicious aroma of Juan Valdez's hand picked coffee beans, the poet sits and ponders her next word while sipping a strategically placed cup of Folgers!? lol GMWww@QuestionHome@Com

You describe my favorite time of pre-dawn perfectly!
Once upon a time, not too long ago, those were my only moments of solace!. Now I yearn for the lives of ever running teenagers through my home!. It is much too quiet at times!.

On the back porch
My chair rocking
Cat at my feet

The day promises

Sun yet to rise
Sitting in the masked screened
breezes of night
settling upon my
peaceful soul!.

I am one with all!.
