the best moment of the day

Dawn
the best moment of the day
the silence
the calm
you could almost feel the sun's gentle warmth
creep over the horizon to bush your skin so gently

synonymous to so many things

the beautiful face that you first see
to the growing shadows that you try to make out despite the alcoholic blur
a renaissance to a flight into darkness
the cold to warmth to heat

there IS a particular taste to it
no matter where you are in the world,
dawn has a taste
there is a slight sweetness to it
it is cool when you inhale
it's coolness brings life to your body

you may not know where you are,
who you're with,
nor what you're doing,
but you damn well know that you're alive
and that you feel good
and even if it just lasts for a moment,
this Breath of Life,
for it is truely a Breath of Life,
carries you though the day
