What Dawn Promises

Even while we sit here waiting intimations of a new dawn are beginning to cut through the shadows Trouble, violence and uncertainty will surely fade when light cuts through the clouds Dawn promises many things Above all a brighter future then we dared hope for After every evening the blood - red sun rises It's rays cause us to pulse with renewed life The land awakens A new day has come! We can rejoice now! After a taste of death We arise once more!

Great way to express a sunrise the opportunity to live a new day refreshed.I enjoyed reading your work today.I am sure that the city offers much that one could write about in a Haibun form.Even though the lights block out a night sky one can look at other items of nature about which to write.Probably just a few miles in one of the four directions could open up a door to see the night sky.I don't get to see it much early to bed.Thanks for the visit to my page and for taking time to comment.Sara

It sounds like a very promising dawn, Matt. As for your egg whites and tomato, that does not sound good to me!! The green smoothie I have each day is nice, but it's really not my kind of food. I will always long for junk food even when I am eating healthy!!
