Ode To The Dawn

      

Did you see the sun rise this morn?
Rising in glory a new day was born.
The night eased away with the coming dawn,
in a magical moment the night was gone.

As the orange orb greeted the sky
I beheld the wonderment with my eyes.
A soft blanket of light covered the earth.
I had witnessed the dawn at its birth.

Then Mother Nature on timely cue
painted the skies in brilliant hues.
Colors melded together on canvas of light
a breathtaking view was held in sight.

Did you take a moment to stop and see
the grande awakening of life to be?

Beautiful Donna.  I was looking this morning, but we've got a real overcast, ominous looking sky this day.

Have a good day, hugs, Marti

This is so pretty.  You are an artist painting with words.  Just beautiful.
It is grey here, so this makes my day!

without surrender, be on good terms with all persons...

very beautiful words and scene you painted.
I must  be getting up too late to see the beautiful sunrising. I am still trying to get rested from the Florida trip.

Yes, I saw it creep across the floor from the door into the garden.  You have written it so beautifully!

I did, yes, but not like this.

Thank you.

This makes me yearn for the morning to come quickly.  Dawn in Texas is a beautiful pallet of colors.  Enjoyed your sights.

Donna, this is so beautiful. As I was reading this, I could almost see the sun rising ....even though it's almost time for the sunset. The picture is pretty, too. Thanks. Ethel

Geez, I've been that busy that I just now realized I haven't been back to this write to thank you all.  You all have left such wonderful comments and I wish I had the time to reply to each in turn but time is limited today so I will just tell you all how much you are appreciated and send a hug.  Peace to poetry land.
Sincerely,
Donna
