I Rose Early








I rose early,
to walk the pristine shore
this untouched day.

Strolling with the silence
t'ward phoenix sun
rising slow and blushed,

my naked feet
mark life with trace of me
in affirmation.

Nature's sighing breath
stirs my careless hair and
brushes warm my flesh,

toward my toes,
the friendly ocean floods
in whispered greeting.


I own this hour
before the world awakes,

I claim this space,

this frozen time,

as mine forever.
