A New Beginning

Morning thoughts Kiss my naked heart Like whispering dreams Alive, passionate, delighting In the music of dawn, the song Of light, joy, promise… dawn In the silence, Reflections of peace Calming my spirit, appeasing Each doubt, each dark thought With light that breathes laughter Through the moon, over the stars As the sunlight lifts its veil Erasing them from the skies Replacing them with its easy glow On the hills, Just beyond the forest Where pines and oaks thrive Lifting heavy branches to the horizon Leaves dancing like they’re guided By the sign of the lemony sun, Breaking through the woods, mesmerizing Jubilant and alive, like a butterfly Singing its goodbye to the petals of a rose Morning thoughts Embrace my quiet dreams With a hope that is tantalizing Drifting in and out of peace Pouring out joy through the pores Of those who listen to the gentle wisdom Found on prayers to the One who gives us The promise of each dawn, the new beginning
