Dawn whispers into the room
on the sounds of ocean roar
footprints left in wet dunes
leading from the door

hand in hand we walk in sand
with the freshness of the breeze
watching the sun effortlessly
break free of nights seize

tiptoeing across the waves
on its journey to shine bright
exposing a whitianga dawn
in a serene an wondrous light

the water surges in
an chills the very bone
but in your lovely presence
your warmth is all i've known

shells they lay scattered
in piles i've never seen
as if neptune had dumped them
in abundance for his queen

i see the beauty in the morn
an feel the love from you
a harmony i can define
as beautiful and true

blessed i would say
in a unison with you
many dawns await
whispering into view........
