My child

woke before dawn

and bundled in his

big green coat

made his way in the still cold

down to the empty sand

 

Called me, saying

"I can't send you anything this year"

(this painful year of loss and realization)

"so I got up to give you the sunrise"

Turned his phone to face the water as the 

soft lip of the sun

began to kiss the edge of Day

 

You see, 

I've been living in the hush

between twilight and sunrise

without a moon

and all the stars, faded

 

My child woke before Dawn

to bring me Light

 

Such a gift
