A New Day

As hints of dawn's hues touch the sky
night sheds its dark blanket and flies
while tender light softens the way
to waken the richness of day.

Sweet scents mix with dew on the grass
reviving the hillsides and paths
trees brighten as birds sing their tunes
sun's warm rays coax flowers to bloom.
