The heaven’s softly dawning light
Conflicts with the darkness of night
Reassuring the heart of God’s grace
Despite the melancholy of dusk’s face
Like a comfort, morning comes around
Destroying gloom of night that does abound
Painting the skies in azure whispers of hope
Leaving behind all the shades that do mope
Gentle and soothing, sunup shines on us
Letting go of the blackness we will discuss
Making sure that the sun knows our love
For its rays that betray dark we speak of
Fear builds its bridge in the darkest hours
Blinding us all to the joy felt in light’s powers
The heaven’s breathe intimacy through light
Reflecting our hearts despite dark’s dismal plight
Wispy winds of faith reach out from light’s grasp
Calling out through the dreaded night with a gasp
Like an embrace from God’s hand touching down
Relieving the sorrows darkness leaves to drown
Out of the delight that comes from glorious insight
Found in the day where shadows choose to smite
Wonders and phenomena reach from the bright rays
Singing melodies of pleasure, cutting through the maze
Of nocturnal deception, betrayal and loathing from grief
Which comes from loss that lingers in the evening thief
Peppered with elation dancing through the sunshine
Love that knows inspiration comes by God’s design
The heaven’s tremble with a sense of purest rapture
When light drifts through the cloud, the night to capture
Within the cloudy hues of happiness that come alive
As night drifts from the scene, allowing the sun to thrive
There are no silhouettes of pain that linger amid brightness
Only gentle seeds of kindness combined with tender politeness
These lingering dreams encompass the heart in spite of darkness
Which longs to disgrace the visions inside with bleak starkness
Light flickers with creativity and courage from within hearts
Sighing through the darkest warnings of storms who starts
Worrying the confidence from its place of poise in feelings
Night beckons to the weary soul with urges for sore dealings
Songs of angels come through the sun in breathes of desire
Leading the way through night’s deceit to a passionate fire
Light brings truth, brilliance and insight into the heart and soul
Night brings shadows of deception which will not leave us whole
Welcome the morning sun with a embrace signaled on the face
Who knows that night has been lifted by God, who can erase
