Blessings whispered to the Dawn

By Adagios

First whispered words

In worlds of frigid dust

May you play only in sunlight

And be safely home by dusk

May your line grow strong

With all the ashes of "almost"

As the root of every welcome

Is a kind and giving host

Be every sunlit thought you

Thought before the frost

For a dutiful good woman

Is a girl that's somewhere lost

Lose the illusions of what wasn't

Dreams don't gain one space

In a hope of recalled visions

Be the truth beyond disgrace 

And being all that's needed

All that ever was or is

May you be for two my darling

So that we both still can live.

    "For a dutiful good woman Is a girl that's somewhere lost" - particularly striking thought here A.; not only for the truth conveyed, but the unspoken sacrifices that will be taken for granted. The normal closing thought is for a loving partner; but I also see a similar linkage to mother and child maybe; kind of a father's prayer. Cheers my friend A. - Dan (This was exquisitely done)

    Dan! As usual you are a bloodhound for the unspoken truths. It's so funny how we play so many roles among those we find irreplaceable, even man and women sort of cop aren't one another, filling deficits. You absolutely nailed my deep personal feelings for the person being written about. Cheers my friend, and thank you.
