Blush of Dawn
I looked here
and there
to escape the pain
looking to cope,
to soothe
my internal dilemma.
I felt
the blush of dawn
cradle me.
I fell
into a daydream.
All the hurts
of humanity
appeared
and laid themselves down
bowing to the sun
anointed with forgiveness
showered in hope
for the future.
My suffering
laid bare
in the early light
was purified
and I felt it no more.
