Dark Dawn Poem by William Kofoed

chilled darkness before the eyes
pinpoints of light high overhead
whites and blues and palest reds
in circling dance slowly move

long thin line of palest white
slowly grows into the sky
dark blackness fades to gray
as tiny lights fade away

whiteness slowly turns to blue
as the land before us comes to view
darkened shapes so hard to see
slowly form before our eyes

sliver of gold before us forms
growing climbing to the sky
green appears upon the land
as last points of light disappear

bright golden orb within the sky
as all above becomes azure blue
all the land now in colors that lie
all seen clearly now withour eyes
