GENTLE VISITOR
"My eyes welcome the sunrise, that iris of fire so pretty in its mascara of pure light." Angela Abraham
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daylight, a gentle visitor,
stepped softly through the threshold of dawn.
It lingered there, a welcome guest,
dispelling shadows, chasing the night.

A lucid glow, a soft embrace,
illuminating every space.
The morning light, a calming grace,
bringing tranquility, filling the day with peace.

This is really soothing like a slow breath at sunrise. I love how you call daylight a “gentle visitor,” it gives the whole piece such warmth and calm. Really peaceful to read.

Lovely, inspirational write! Morning is the dawn of new opportunity, to appreciate, and be inspired. All is the grace of God. His light, though seen in cycles, is ever-present.
