===========

Radiant Dawn enter our hearts

an orange sunset

shot through with purple bruises

a bitter cold night

Radiant Dawn enter our hearts

a bitter cold night

pregnant with the silent stars

waiting for the dawn

Radiant Dawn enter our hearts

waiting for the dawn

to deliver winter light

an orange sunrise

Radiant Dawn enter our hearts

This pattern of haikus, making a complete story of the passing of the night, is one of the loveliest I’ve read.
