Sonnet Contest -Daybreak

Fair dawn awaits Once more fair dawn awaits the radiant sun Clothed in her mantle daubed with streaks of light. And faithful to the course which life must run; Receives the baton from retreating night. Remote yet not alone, for down below Creation is preparing to rejoice; Faint silhouettes of trees begin to show, And birdsong swells to greet her in full voice. The precious golden orb will soon arise And dawn prepares to slowly slip away A blush of pink expands across the skies The sun cuts through at last: a brand new day. This gift of new beginnings should impart A sense of awe in every human heart.
