A silent dawning-
Grasping, flailing, and finally catching
With subtility of a sledgehammer,
But grace of a butterfly
It hits!
Striking its mark,
And placing bright, warming light
Where no light has ever been
But will now be forever-
Bringing pleasure.
A strange enjoyment
That gives back happiness
Both to the giver
And the receiver
With regards.
Lawrence R. Daffner, 4/89
