WALKING BEFORE DAWN

They have plenty of light
in the early mornings.
There's the lamp
giving its golden gift
as they lace their shoes,
and there's the flashlight
that goes with them
like a willing worker.
There are stars in the sky
standing guard,
and there are thoughts
thronging around them
like sweet-tempered flames
as they walk with each other
under the soft shine 
of the streets' own lights.
