Comes The Dawn

Painting by Edward Moran


Comes the Dawn

when the bells of
broken dreams stop
ringing

when the children
of war’s sister
go to sleep

when the teeth of
arrogance are pulled

when the chaste
road is
paved

when the nipples
of time
are pierced

when the sunken ships of
love’s armada
are resurrected

when the window
of silence
is shut
