By roadside bench
Choked drains fling stench
Bus-stop crowd waits
Time flings the bait
Sleepy dawn streams
Day edges dreams
Mobile apps style
Selfie and smiles
Each with stray thoughts
Each fiddles plots
This waiting game
Brings much the same
Dawn lights a face
We ply new trace

Dawn comes around
Upon these grounds,
A cheery sight
Of morning light.
See the new world
In a fond swirl,
A touch of grace
Moves joy to trace.
Sense a bold touch
That beams so much,
A warm sunshine
Prompts thoughtful lines.
Feel pulse of light
Seed flavours bright,
A day to greet
Pleasures we meet.
Touch a new wave
With beauty brave,
A simple ease
In vibrant peace.
Smell the fresh air
That sparks new flair,
A cause to bloom
Where faith fills room.
Taste the new day
As light streams play,
A sensuous hope
That sculpts fond scope.
Know a sure trace
In time and space,
A radiant urge
Flings easy surge.
Greet the new morn
That styles bright dawn,
A happy face
Aligns sure grace.
Beauty sparks proof
In sanguine truth,
Align your heart
As love seeds art.
Sing to the dawn
This glorious morn,
Watch day reveal
A wondrous feel.

Hurl of new dawn
In burst of light;
Surge of bright morn
In awesome sight.
Joy in fond light
Springs out to greet;
Touch of sure flight
That feels most sweet.
Moist dew on grass
With fresh new air;
A touch of class
In charm most fair.
The world now wakes
To a new day;
In a sure make
Of warmth that stays.
Come let us rise
To trade and quest;
Time to be wise
To dance life's zest.
Heed the clear call
As nature flings;
Heed one and all
The rites of spring.
Go live your fest
In craft and art;
Love knows what's best
For mind and heart.

Dawn comes swiftly,
Apt as ever;
Wake now easy,
Nice and clever;
Look to new hope,
Instruct your mind;
Grace sculpts new scope,
Hoist your new finds;
Touch recalls poise.
Heal with sure tact;
Use follows choice,
Rise up to act;
Live your sure span,
Sigh and glimpse grand.

Dazzling new light, dreamy dawning;
Awake dear heart, aware of morn;
Waltz to new sight, wake to morning;
Now boldly start, new feast of dawn;
Listen dear soul, loiter with sounds;
Indulge your ears, invite fond feel;
Glimpse a new whole, grace sacred grounds;
Heed voice sincere, hope funds appeal;
Trust how you feel, truth words the way.
Health is a gift, hurts heal in time;
Use words to heal, urge primes the play;
Release and lift, rouse praise sublime;
Love sculpts all stuff, live loving daze;
Soul knows enough, sight walks the maze.

Dense darkness leaves like scattered dreams;
Adjust to light in morning air;
Waves through a sieve in vivid themes;
New sight clears plight beyond compare.
Let us go now into this dawn;
Ignite an urge that flows with quest;
Grace bears endow this happy morn;
Heed brand new surge that flavours zest;
Touch the new day with oomph that shows.
Come let us go with profound joy;
One tact to play in precious flow;
Meet this fine glow with sure employ;
Enter and see life's arena;
See all we see: grand agenda!
