The Great Atlantic Dawn Eastern clouds lie golden in the morning. Their wealth is the great Atlantic’s dawning. The risen sun will kiss horizon’s shore, and on to southern towns to touch much more. The joy of ocean’s ageless as blue skies, a power body stretched before our eyes. How great the grains of sand; so countless be, that form the earth which melts into the sea! The sun will rise and be a cherished sight, the calmness present from a booming night. We’ll dream and stroll the peaceful tidal shore, looking east toward new days to adore. 8/27/16
