Dawn Is Nigh

Dawn sheds light on nebulous  dreams
 That dwell deep within silent screams
As  fears  dissolve  into  the light
  Dreams  perceived will yet be bright

 Dusk's fading light in tangerine
 Paints the horizon against evergreens
 And  distant orbs it then invites
 To merge into the realm of night

 Night then cloaks enlightened dreams
 In a cocoon of ethereal extremes
 And as they travel through the sky
 They're  darker yet  till dawn  comes nigh

I love the rhythm and rhyme of this write, Joseph. With Dawn comes a new day, new hope. Dark thoughts recede with darkness, often. A 7. Smiles from the isles. Kim :)
