today's dawn

as the sun sets on a past, now forgotten, the envious moon shines bright to spite said sun and guide our evening's stroll. a star streaks across the otherwise motionless sky, then disappears behind the silent hills, only after it's final flicker seen, making clear it once existed. a single ripple echoes across the surface of a lake that boasts contentment far beyond our imagination. it is here that i find peace. it is here that i sleep. hours pass, and as i awake to the sound of the early winds, whistling a tune i had never heard, the sky's royal hue turns a lighter shade of blue. breathing deep, i lift my weary head, only to be greeted by a sight far more astounding than anyone had ever dare imagine. as i shield my eyes, i gaze on the beauty brought before me. and as her warmth washes over my freezing heart, i feel what true love is...

...for today's dawn is far greater than the last.
