Dawn held still beyond the hill
Kept its breath in perfect will
Night retreated to restore
All you are the dawn waits for
Wind observed your trembling stand
Felt the truth within your hand
Tears that slipped to forest floor
Summoned what the dawn waits for
Dreams advanced through muted rain
Lifted hope from buried pain
Heart awakened to its core
Rising to what dawn waits for
Light revealed an open door
Soft in grace profound in lore
Life returned with something more—
Soul became what dawn waits for
