“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.” Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The view through the semi-darkness
reveals the moon in the blue sky
as seen through
the ominous branches
of the tree void of leaves
in the eastern sky
the glorious dawn
heralds its presence
through a tease of light
a promise of color
the cycle of a new day
has begun.
Grief is like the tree
always in the background
the branches barren now
waiting for the new life of spring.
The sky can be shadowy dark
or filled with
sunshine, storms, or cold snow
depending on the season.
The moon is there in its cycle,
sometimes full sometimes not,
but always present as a guide
to show the way
through the darkness.
But the dawn-
the glorious dawn!
signals a new day
a new beginning
a renewed life
promises of things to come
beckons to awaken
shake off sleep
shake off grief
focus on color and promise
because as is the cycle of the earth
storms will come and go
but the moon will guide
through the night
and the dawn will always come.
