What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

Dawn will come, it always does.
It may take a little longer, depending on your mood.
It might not be as bright as expected, but few of us are.
It will last such a brief moment.
Dawn is like that.
You may have to wait through the darkness for some time,
full daylight arrives, except soon the moment will disappear.
So much left unsaid.
So little to say for yourself.
It comes without thinking, yet
there is so much anticipation.
Dawn appears just like that.
You have waited long enough.

A poignant and reflective poem that beautifully captures the essence of dawn as a metaphor for hope, resilience, and the passage of time. The imagery and emotions evoke a profound sense of introspection. Well-crafted. 🌅🌌🕊️✨
thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
