Ode To Dawn

A breath is drawn, as morning dawns
the flute, to lips, does rise
mellow notes echo ‘round
as sunlight streaks the skies

Night shadows fade, dim canyon walls
glow purple, red and pink
dulcet tones cascading
for thirsty souls to drink

Daybreaks first blush, a dewy kiss
arouse a sleepy world
harmony meets horizon
the sunrise has unfurled

Congrats on this selection. Puts me in mind of "Sunrise" from Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg. This definitely - like most poetry - should be read aloud....and to music. Love, daver
