SOFTLY DAWNS THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daylight unwraps the hues of the world with an awakening magic. Early morning comes as a promise kept, bringing a sense of serenity, a peace that invited itself into my soul and made itself at home. 

softly dawns the day
morning's gentle whispers sweet
summer's warmth awakes

Indeed, summer can be quite enchanting, thinking of lakes and mountain vistas. Lovely reminder.

I agree, Joe. Summer is an enchanting season. I remember days spent inside my father's boat on a nearby lake watching him fish. Wishing you a splendid evening, Sara
