The Waking World

For Ink Empress's Etheree of your Heart Poetry Contest 4 June 2025 Light grows slow in hues bloom, eastward, sky springs a soft, gentle yawn, colors bleed, gold and rose, the world stretches, taking breath shadows flee, night's dark embrace fades, hope returns on the morn's first warm rays, a brand new day, a promise whispered deep~ that promise brightly brings a quiet hush, peace descends, a tranquil, golden hour, nature wakes, finds its calm power, chasing dreams of the black night, sweet scents begin to rise, birds chirp and sing out, warm touch of light, the break of new dawn, sun.
