Dawn of Empowerment

The fresh morning air,
crisp, wet, fragrant, alive
delivers a shock to the sleeping mind
waking the senses
coming out of a drowsy yawn
the new day dawns with vibrant colors
echoing the motivation for change in my soul
bright reds and golds warm the chilled,
dew covered earth
with the promise of tenderness and love
the rising sun itself strengthens the
resolve made in the darkness of night
to grasp onto life
to live it!
To Love it!
Not to let anymore of it pass by
with pessimistic lethargy
a brand new day has begun
breathe in the vigor,
feel the promise,
live the power!

Dear Trudy, so sorry I ever missed this! I should print this out and hang it right by my computer to read every day to inspire me to do just as you so beautifully write! It is a crime indeed to let any of the undeniable beauty that surrounds us pass us by! Powerful! Love, Shar

I love your upbeat approach to life and your appreciation for things we take for granted -- fresh air, colorful sunrises and all of nature's beauty. What a great poem, Tudy!
