When Daylight Comes

The morning shows when light comes forth The darkness it must flee The birds sing out their songs so sweet It seems they're serenading me A burst of color in skies appear As night must now soon end The heaven seems to be ablaze Just as the first light does descend Each plant looks up to heavens rays With leaves that wait anew The dew that's on the ground will now Give a drink so true The cloak of darkness we call night Has finally fled away For life has woken to the light That God has sent our way Written 7/22/18 For the dusk or dawn poetry contest
