I was meant to find you here

In the feathered hour before waking

Where, gentle with sleep

You moulded yourself to dreamscape

Timid our hope to find, in straining dawn

Within the stream of our wandering mind

Elucidating like synchronized swimmers, carving ever decreasing circles

Each head sleek with water, diving deeper, ever tauter

From such depths we surface, forming mosaics on our skin

From seemingly unrelated moments, they wind, mirrored twine

Like treasure-seeking may leave us penniless

Laughing in the bask of adventure and

Oh the divers urge to search beneath surface

And never grow complacent or bored

For this day streaming on us, liquid silver, holds all promise

If we just examine, the way forward is forged

Out of darkness like a bright brand, quickening

Come to the frightened as they implore Titans

Leave us just a moment longer in the belief

Love can last a long wild run, barefoot and laughing

Into ocean and beyond ourselves as stones are thrown ever wider

Tracery, to the excited call of children and their hopes unfurling

Taking to warm sky, kaleidoscopic red and gold

Where you begin to wake, your eyes capture and hold

First light
