An excellent beginning and an excellent ending, Eric. The first stanza of the poem hooked me, and I could feel the lightness that comes with letting go, letting flow, freeing oneself from unnecessary burdens. But that state is not always so easy to achieve and does not come so spontaneously, which is why dawn can be a time of day, but also a state of mind: that precise moment of light, of clarity, of revelations. I can't remember the last time I stayed up late talking to a friend or partner, feeling that words were opening doors that had been closed. Flight, whether of a bird or a kite, will always bring a feeling of freedom. Hugs 🪁
Dawn can also be a state of mind.
How poetic that is! That one line captures what I was feeling when I wrote this. These moments in life are rare and can't be contrived or constructed. The moments have to happen spontaneously, like lightning, or a rainbow. Thank you for your comment, Nancy! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
