Almost lost but for light of high moon Reflects a sun still shining over sea Drifting away dreams that vanish too soon Fog burning off to a lessor degree
Silence is stillness in an early spring A time when even the night creatures rest Calming hours before the daylight bring Gently the first breeze will blow north by west
Solitude spreads evenly like the dew Quietly above does the mountain watch Searching like eyes of a baby raptor Gazing from a nest in its hidden notch
Soon a most beautiful sunrise will stun Awakenning all where life has begun

Quietly above does the mountain watch
Beautiful sonnet as ever yankee.
Ah! solitude, how elusive in our modern world.
Solitude spreads evenly like the dew in the gentle, silent beauty of Appalachian Morning's early morning reflection.
Very nice imagery.
