just before dawn,
birds greet the gray morning
in softest song-
first movement,
pianissimo

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.

Thank you both! I love that you used the word "serenade", Lorraine, because I played around with that very word forever last night. Somehow I just couldn't make it fit into the poem itself, though...so glad you said it for me!!! :)
