beyond timid smiles

of course!
I, daring the darkness —
wary of its protection
weary of its promises —
am finally worthy to heed
its odd warning to leave
slumber's lofty confines
warming to the night's cool
airs of dreaming freedom...
addicted to dawn
inhaling today’s misty future
I jog along the pebbled beach
rejoicing soon in morning’s prismatic glory
a slow pink sphere conquers deep-blue eternities,
somehow emblazoning gold splendor
blinds so many timid smiles
those dull dreary masks
that surround us
imitating happiness
when all we need is
a sunrise horizon



beyond timid smiles
