Dawn


 Creation, 

the overwhelming urge

to do what can't be done 

reach what can't be touched

dream what cannot exist. 

History, 

destruction of barriers 

produced by the same in-

securities that tell us we can't. 

Dawn, 

the realization that in every 

insecurity is a chance.

one chance to do what can't 

be done.

to reach what can't 

be touched.

to dream what 

can exist.

dawn.
