Dawn

~*~

She sat staring remembering the beginning…
When the darkness enveloped her…
the darkness that permeated her everything…

~*~
Every moment…began to get brighter…
Slow and steady the light shone through…
Fought its way to her…

~*~
She tried to hide from it

complacent in the comfort in the deep black of her memory…
The light…

Finding its way through…started to brighten her world…

~*~
It was foreign to her…
She had forgotten what it felt like…

Warmth on her face…

surrounding her in its embrace…in its beauty…
One ray of light…then another…
Another and another…

~*~
Soon she could see again…
She saw smiles…
She felt the warmth of friendship…
She was inundated by the light…
She welcomed it finding new comfort here in its golden hues…
She sat staring…remembering when it dawned on her…
She knew…
It was the October Rose…
