Good mourning Dawn
For the lovely Night
Those lovely tears
Reflect the light
Standing there
As still as stone
Still afraid
To be alone
Light's reaction
To Night's attraction
Sun still rises
Rays in crisis
Clouds retreating
Softly weeping
Moonlight lies
Sweet love dies
And all around the world Dawn cries.

This is so good! Simple, but deep. I know this is minor, but personally I would have broken up the last line into 2 lines and taken out the "and" so that it read:

"All around the world

Dawn cries"

 

Other than that, nice job! This is one of your best I would say.

Thank you so much =]

I really like your interpretation, and it's really cool to hear what it means to other people. That's not exactly what it means to me, but I wrote it hoping that it would mean different things to different people.

I don't know if you wrote this and it just turned out well, but heres what it means to me:

Dawn seems like a play on words to me, to dawn is to suddenly click. Something has sunk in and it is late at night and tears are rolling off. When you say lights reaction to nights attraction, it means when darkness crowds in good, the reaction is to still like stone and be afraid. When the sun still rises it means time stops for no ones pain and moonlight lies means that feeling lingers. The last line, to me, means that the world is emersed in pain when the truth of things finally dawns on them.

Anyway, its beautiful :)

I loved this! It was light, but full at the same time. The words were smooth-they flowed in a way that kind of just mde me jump into the poem. Keep it up!
