Notes About The Poem

Bathed In the Glow of Dawn

Mist washed across my lids in sleep
cleansing drizzle on my face, I woke
bathed in the glow of dawn's first light
I welcomed the soft kiss of morning

I searched the sky, discovering the sun
framed by trees, winking behind clouds
gentle rain had created a prism of colors
glistening diamonds of dew all around

A new day now risen, I faintly glimpsed
reasons for happiness awash over me
flocks of birds and herds of wild creatures
a mountain crest still blanketed in snow

With eyes seeing and ears keenly listening
I sensed the waking of this sleepy forest glen
On feet I've traveled, mysteries unraveled
Heaven daily renews the birth of our earth

What beautiful images you have painted, Lin! Every day we are gifted with so many lovely things, though not all people appreciate them. You are one of the lucky ones who do! ~ Regards // paul
