Before dawn

You
You woke me up
Just before dawn

You
You didn’t mean to
You were just scurrying about
Looking for something

But I
I thank you for that
For in my dream
A song was trapped

And
As I lie now
Awake in the dark
The world has stopped
For the birth of a song

A rustle of feathers
Caressing the walls

A wisp of a feeling
Fumbling for words

A stringing of sounds
Struggling to be

As I lie now
