When the sun is shining Illuminating the pristine dawn How silent and fair the pale satin face Slumbers next to me, eyes of a fawn
Silhouettes fall across the hills; As the sun rises, As the morning is red, I hear the sweet lark sing
Then I hold your hand, Its skin softer than the silk Which drapes over you Slumbering in pleasant lands
I kiss your brow, Where the smallest dab of sweat glistens You are my heart, my life, my soul, Quiet, still, star of dreams
a/n - I wrote this for a contest on another poetry website. The judge of the contest gave us a quatrain, and we had to use one line in each stanza. So anywho, I hope you enjoy it. :)
