A Beauteous Dawn

The veil of twilight lifts, 
unmasking 
a beautiful spring daybreak. 
Out came the sun rays
bursting through the clouds, 
shimmering like gloss
of silk and satin; 
sneaking through the window panes.
I feel the heat sensation 
massaging my face.
The sun's glow, 
bright and warm, 
stealing into my eyes.
A beauteous dawn
steadily, steadily, steadily
ringing a bell outdoors.  
It sure arrived in style! 
A spring morn with no hint of rain!
I surrender blissfully 
to the peaceful morning ambiance; 
easing into 
a tranquilized mood. 
How good is the sound 
of leaves continually rustling 
in the gentle breeze?
How beautiful 
are marshmallow clouds 
hovering above me? 
Or periwinkle blue skies 
softly kissing lush green trees
near and far? 
The scenery outdoors 
arresting; good enough 
to photograph and frame. 
A fine day, thus far;
all the chickadees agree, 
singing their dulcet songs with glee.
Even tulips nod in agreement! 
The vernal earth 
smiles at me in dandelions 
and cherry blossoms,
and I return the smile 
gratefully
