Dawn – A Tanka

• 

a hush starts the day
morning bids farewell to dawn –
here on the ocean

waves once bathe in twilight pay
homage to the rising sun

Mist

through the mist
welcoming the dawn
morning glory

in surrender to the sun
a gentle unraveling

Morning Dew

Morning dew
Hugs grass
at the break of dawn
Sparkling
The colors of twilight
Patiently awaits the rising
of the sun
After dazzling by moonlight
Like a wayward lover
It’s moved on to the dawn
Reflection of tiny creatures
Momentary
As the sun rises
She is sated
And can no longer be –
Morning dew
