Dawn Is Breaking the Night

Different realities, life embeds
Every day, valleys and plains, we walk
Also, mountains, hills and rocks, we climb
Fights we win and battles defeat us
Such is the life of a human being

Night comes to fling us into the bed
Nightmares, we affront to govern our ambitions
Hurdles we confront in dreams; wasps sting our faces
Our faces and aisles inundated with sweat
To end up tasting honey and milk
To a human being, such are his dreams

The sun’s beam has defeated the long night 
Horrible had been the darkness 
Hard it was to find the path in the dimness
The night is calm but hugely petrifying  
For surrounded by obscurity, we cannot see.
Disgusting, nights are often

No darkness resists the mighty sunlight
Mountains shrink; to then see green valleys
Audacity and resilience restore  our ambitions 
Through hurdles, we often go but to new life, we come
Daniel, Jesus, Job, Jonas, Paul and Sarah of the Bible, inspire us
We can now chant the melody of triumph
