The dawn deserves to finish rise with the tide On the Morning of the night O winds we ride Release a speckled aubade parting in the way Lovers do, as a world begins its ordinary day Aube me in a dissolving kiss, intimate so real Timeless in a clock dark the light in us to feel Still the soft tenderness survive exposing sun Done the fight, a Lark of loneliness, walk run In a cold memory, warm us slip the bed away Yet, today seems different, solitude in its gray Starts to hold you longer your private unseen Let me place it gently down, a word we glean Carry this shift, a change that lingers in space For us lines whispy gathers meaning in a face

Release a Speckled Aubade
The dawn deserves to finish rise with the tide On the Morning of the night O winds we ride Release a speckled aubade parting in the way Lovers do, as a world begins its ordinary day Aube me in a dissolving kiss, intimate so real Timeless in a clock dark the light in us to feel Still the soft tenderness survive exposing sun Done the fight, a Lark of loneliness, walk run In a cold memory, warm us slip the bed away Yet, today seems different, solitude in its gray Starts to hold you longer your private unseen Let me place it gently down, a word we glean Carry this shift, a change that lingers in space For us lines whispy gathers meaning in a face
There comes an inevitable aubade, an everyday, in the lives of which we sweep and gather, when the night world slips out of night into the barest back of a new day and in the drudge, the sweet departing as we lay, I like to think a silent calm keeps us together on our solitary chaos way.
