A Dawn Perceived

Lo! Behold the morning with such beauteous delight. See diaphanous filaments bestrewn with beads of dew, sparkling their display of every shade of prismatic hue, exalting the spider’s art, woven throughout the night! Lo! See the wraiths of mist, slowly rising from the river bed, whilst apparent rootless reeds, seen on either bank, stand like ephemeral ghosts! The air though heavy and dank becomes alive with a myriad of creatures. For the night has fled! Lo! Hear the clear crystal sounds which bid the new day awaken. The crowing cock, the raucous cawing crow, the mourning dove, all borne upon the breeze, which routs reluctant clouds above. Once again with the breaking dawn perceived, darkness is overtaken! Lo! Give thanks for the wakening of a sleeping souls once more, for having survived the unknown perils of the past night. Arising to witness another day graced by Dawn’s early light, we are aware that the awaiting day invites us to come; explore! Rhyme. August 23rd, 2016
