Standing in this moment
In the emerging dayspring
Awestruck, I find solace
In an offering from the sun
As it stretches golden fingers
Giving light to a barren sky

A breeze whispers around my body
Longingly caressing barren skin
And entangling me in his embrace
Our meeting only brief, he moves on
To fill every hungry sail
Crossing the mighty sea

Dreamer, I wish to capture
This very point in time
Suspend its delicate essence
And beautiful, bright display
To hold it within my heart
And remember when clouds gather.
