Wharfedale Dawn

Embracing warped shadows with in crevice crouch
till the morning light liberates the hideous gloom.
Then upon the balmy breeze delirium vouch
dawn’s chorus melodious across the valley zoom.
How fragrant this moment a day born again
when sunbeams frolic within this a craggy place.
Nature comes alive in hillside dale and fen
simple truth abiding to ignite the human race.

Gone is the night, the gloom, the shadows of doubt and despair. Thank God for the new day! Thanks for visiting. One love. Joy Wells Login to Reply
