Await the Dawn

When life doesn't seem to be going quite your way.
Perhaps a lover no longer graces your day.
Happiness seems so far away and you hurt more than
you care to say.
Than you know it's time to let go and move on.
Even thou you don't know exactly what you should do
life still goes on while you await the dawn.
The sun rises faithfully to announce each new day
and every eye looks upon that same sun to take the darkest night away.
Although it true the sun doesn't always seem to shine when you find yourself blue
one day it will single you out and it will shine in all of it's glory just for you.
And happiness will be your new found friend
and loneliness will have to depart as the beauty of life sets in.
No one can take that day away because you waited oh so patiently for the sun to single you out and dawn your new day.

Beautiful, and so very true. It took me a long time to reach this point. You've written it wonderfully. A poem of hope.

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.

hi JamesMichael, ya know I read your poem two times over before posting this reply and my guess is I'll probably come back a few more times

Your poem expresses what we believe in our hearts is true, but sometimes, we might just need a lil reminder to get things back on track towards starting anew

I enjoyed this PoetFriend, and I thank you for sharing it with all of us...

So true James! I'm one of those guys that gets up at 5:30 AM every morning and waits for the dawn reading or writing and anticipating all the adventures of the coming day...to me it's a very special time of day, full of hope, new life, experiences and a thankfulness for this wonderful gift of consciousness, a gift that allows me to communicate with all the wonderful poets here at Passions and all the others I come in contact with during the day.......thanks for this positive poem...if love fails it's a medicinal soothing poem for those that are taking it hard....take care ethome

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

beautifully said, to often we do look for the clouds and dwell on negative thoughts, so it's reassuring when you look for the sun that brightens the day.
