Awesome This, a Rising Star

The fragile mist of morning, As the sun is breathtaking through— I can see the daylight forming, As the sky turns azure blue. How awesome this, a rising star, As a billion fade away— The door of dawn, again ajar, As enters a new day!

How beautiful the Dawning of day is..Solaced by your verse.

It is a spectacular thing! I recall a quote by Emily: “Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.” It’s almost as though she’s equating dawn with a second coming, or death. Interesting ;-)

A poetic write that uplifts me this morning and makes my coffee taste better. I feel like I am there, so your imagery has turned my head.
