The Far Horizon ~ Philip Brent
Breath away sleep
In the glimmering dawn
Roosters crow
Like clarion horns
Some have been
Long awake
Secret lovers
Their leave to take
Mothers, fathers
Children to shake
Night terrors
Long passed away
Snagged and held
On the sharp edges
Of breaking day
Powerless, forgotten
As an egg’s yellow yolk
Hidden in darkness
Until the barrier
Is broken
Glory revealed
Night into day
