Sunlight Sighs
Peaceful beauty bourn
where cataclysmic chaos
once adorned new dawns.

Line 1: I used “bourn” in my haiku to bring to mind that the peaceful and beautiful places on
earth were among God's end goals. Creating peaceful and beautiful places.
Line 2: It may have taken seemingly catastrophic events such as the collision of earth plates
to bring such mountainous beauty to pass.
Line 3: And since Day 4 in the creation process, the sun brightened each new day
