Morning Glory

A songbird sings of morning glory,
twittering homage to Dawn's first light.
And ebony shadows fade to shade 
as they lose the protection of Night.

The sun rises from a scarlet shroud,
draping itself in a golden hue.
And shining above Earth's eastern rim,
light paints the sky a robin-egg-blue.

Blood tints the clouds cotton candy pink
as the heart of Night's pierced by Dawn.
And, soon, color is fully restored;
while dew sprinkles glitter on the lawn.

Butterflies and bumblebees waken;
as a new day slowly fills with sound.
And Hope renews with every sunrise: 
it's not lost; it's waiting to be found.
