Comprehending I was part <br>Of that celestial time; that beat; <br>That rhythmic pound; that solar clock, <br>I stepped across the line of my despair to view<br>The marvel of a newborn dawn. <br>For dark had spoke its sorrows. <br>Life shown like the dawn. I bad farewell <br>To the darkness of my soul.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Lynn+W.+Petty">Lynn W.
