Come The Dawn

As the baton of night is handed to day
I got up to watch it awaken

As dawn kissed the horizon it rose
Bringing the light, night is taken

With a warm hand it touches all
The diamond dew upon the grass

The sombre tones of concrete colours
Rejuvenate as the morning dawn does pass

Shadows peep out from their dormant slumber
Standing proudly to what friend is close by

The sky is now a bright blanket of baby blue
It is now the true day, the sun is sitting high

I see House Martins gracefully feeding on the wing
Flying under the suns rays with elegant ease

The golden green hues of foliage is now moving
A gentle rocking with the rhythm of the breeze

The wonderment of a new dawn never fades
I love to sit and watch in silent awe

As the beginning of a new day, heralds a fresh start
Yesterday has since passed it is no more
