She swims the light at break of day

She swims the light at break of day,
Befriending the lonely shadows and
Turning their hearts warm, their eyes bright.
Her presence gently sifts through the dawn
Like a bird’s song at the end of winter:
Piercingly lovely, fragile, hopeful.
Smile! O let your smile touch my face too
That I, like the cold grey clouds of the horizon
Might be touched by the sunrise and lost in its glow.
