First Light

Alone
Sitting on the dock
Cold
Dark
Mist fills the sky
Waves breaking
Water lapping

It’s a beautiful beginning
To the East, a light starts to form
Hope begins to rekindle

As the light grows in the East
Hues or orange and gold
Hope becomes brighter
And my world not so cold

As day breaks
Hope becomes desire
Desire to live
Desire to love

Now it’s time to live another day
Now it’s time to learn
You can’t move on without first
Leaving the safety of the bay.
