Before Daybreak

.


~ Silence ~


Just before daybreak
when the air is coldest and
the wind barely whispers
in the trees outside.

Without opening my eyes 
I feel you close to me
warm and safe
here I lie…

With you in my arms thinking about…


~ Silence ~

    I love that Place

    Between waking and sleeping. Peace. I especially liked the part in your poem where you said warm and safe - you put it right after 'i feel you' (as though your companion is warm and safe) and right before 'here i lie' - you are both safe in each other. What a peaceful feeling, you described it so sweetly. ...thank you...

  • this could easily have won Gold. I absolutely loved your poem. Thank you for your entry love!!!

    GREAT POEM!!

    oh so romantic! I love this and I also love the picture this poem left in my mind. Thank you very much for entering my contest!

    My favorite line was:
    "Without opening my eyes
    I feel you close to me"

    Somehow it's a security that I am longing for! GREAT POEM!!

    All the best

    Ohhhhh......I love this!!! Actually kind of had an eerie quality to it!!!! Very beautifully written and my favorite time of the day is that moment of day break when all is silent and I know that I am awakening in the arms of my love!! Well versed dear poet and best of luck!

    i like your take on the prompt, framing the piece between the two "silences" works well with the idea of "white spaces." it capture the feeling of drifting in and out of sleep very well!

    Awww... and it's really good :-) I like the contrast between outside/inside, warm/cold, and it works really well with the format. I think "silence" was the perfect word to start and end with- it gives the poem definition.
