Ron VanHooser Poet Rhyme

Brand New Day

I listened and, though faintly,
heard the breaking of the day.
It sounded as a rooster's crow;
the cricket's song fading away;

The splitting of the morning air
by eagles' wings in flight;
the ringing of the church bells
and the crack of dawn's first light.

I looked and saw the parting clouds
acknowledging the sun,
like the opening of the curtain
when Act 1, Scene 1 has come;

Like the awesome entrance of royalty
into a crowded room;
like the joyous arrival of new life
from a mother's ripened womb.

I felt, in that brief moment,
that this was special, not mundane,
not like evening with its setting sun
or a rainbow after the rain.

This was different, not redundant,
never graced by poet's say;
and it was a new beginning,
first light of a brand-new day.
