Dawn

The morning light entices me.
Is it later or earlier than I can
Ever anticipate it to be? This
Morning I am awakened by
It's early appearance.Shouldn't
I know if it is just dawning or if
It has been bright for hours or
If it is just first light? Shouldn't 
I know just by the quality of the
Day as it peaks into my room
What time it really is?

Sunrise?

The mornings are dark
It's hard to determine if
This is the time I should
Get up. There is no cue
In the sky. I do rise early
But I don't want to be up
Aforehand. There's early
Then there's too early I
Want sun up to provide
My clue, to guide me to
Action. There is no light.
The mornings are dark.
Is it darkest before dawn?
