Dawn

Dawn

The cuckoo chimes its wake up call,

The birds chirp at dawn

The rustle of the leaves,

In the morning breeze

And the dew drops on the lawn.

I see the first ray of golden light

Spreading the warmth of sunshine

Passing through the cold gray clouds of the night

The whole new day is all mine

I stand alone and stare ahead

Watching the clouds clear

Dispel the darkness we all dread

The source of light appears

I gazed hard at the beautiful sight

Wondered what was in store,

Nature’s power and all its might

Now just a memory and then some more.
