Morning breaks in upon my bed
welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
banishing fear, dismissing dread.
Summoning sparkles in my eyes,
on waking up, daybreak supplies
hope-filled words, "Look to the skies!"
And I thank Jesus as I rise.
He hears the prayers I pray each night.
My Savior dawns with strength and light.
I love you Lord with all my might;
I trust you, God and your insight.

Dream peep of early gold rim halo
August riser gleeful in exalted chant
Yield to dulcet chirp from ornate winger
Sunburst orange red splash of heaven
Taunt and tease ocean blue mist eyes
Amber warm rays dazzle pearl clad beach
Revere the hue-rich magic spectra veil
Designed by glow world spirit apt
Aligning deft nirvana enigmatic
You’ll embrace a stunning touchstone
Strewn amid solid crystal bounty
Traipsing vivid emerald paths ahead
Amazed by wondrous vista woven
Redolent of chalk mark visual rife
Dabble in the morn’s first usher
Archway to vibrant wakener within
Yen for ample stimulus astride
Sensory luxuriance devoid of match
Tangled web surfeit found epic
Aching surge of tinted aspect
Rhythmic ripples on beaded brow

Do you ever wish upon a star?
Always in search of cornucopia
You could not forget a wish like that
So it is always worth wishing on stars
To bring home joy , pleasure and play
And hoping you will hit the right arena
Right where your glorious dream will land

Devotional devotees dazzlingly delight
At an amazing aurora’s star of abiding light;
You’re yawl-like year-round of Yahweh’s areole-sight,
Starlight of sunshine, starlight in splendid night,
Twinkling tirelessly ‘til the thickest tip of twilight;
Ardent acclamations in our hearts arise…alight,
Reuniting us in rejoicing with reverence in thy rite!

Downfall of Lucifer from heaven having sinned
Against God or is it the planet Venus at dawn,
Yesteryear’s mythology or today’s scientific fact?
Story of man is made up of myths and folklores
Tainted with superstitious shenanigans and mumbo jumbo
Attributing natural phenomenal events to acts of gods
Racing against the coming onslaught of Kaliyuga.

Dream-like is she, gleaming softly
through gauze of faded moon
Auroral her flame imbued with wings so
regal
Yellowing sky's revue through wisps
of haloed dew--
Somehow, she guides me through
deep prayer,
To exalt her for baptism of new
awakenings, promises made holy
And how she , Dawn, unveils what is
pure in my sacred world
Reflecting her timeless morn...
angel of first sun, daystar!

Daystar is a poetic word for the sun,
And also another word for the morning star; when
Yellow shines in the sky at sunrise and sunset, with
Spiritual glow to impart and to comfort us.
The eye of heaven, it is said to be, or perhaps just
A planet called Venus;
Radiating like a lamp to light our way on Earth.

Desolate life wanders in wanton wasteland in the dark
Assigned path for me I no longer can find, search in vain
Yearn with devout dedication God’s benevolent light
Seek its shine on me with the glow of His thousand suns
Transform at night into the shimmering star to guide me
Awakened by His gracious kindness I find way inward
Recognize in soul a lotus bloom with the sheen of His star

D Daystar from on high, visit us this day;
A arise within us for your Spirit is truth.
Y You are the Light which saves us from deception
S so we may serve YOU without fear, without pride.
T Teach us to act with grace, forgiveness and mercy
A as You shine through us to all who walk in darkness.
R Righteous Redeemer, reveal your path to peace.

Delighting in the Lord God Who illumines by His truth daily
Assured heart of mine indeed thanks His gracious approval
Yearning for His sweet presence while to the Holy Spirit yielding
Seeking His favorable approval as He wisely directs my steps
Triumphantly toward His victorious purpose, always trustworthy
Affirming His forgiveness that sanctifies against vain arrogance
Reviving me, since He's the day star*, light bringer of my redemption.
*2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

Devine intervention neon near fuchsia far
Amethyst gem of lavender love in heart
Yellow smile running miles in my mind
Sun rises in your eyes beautiful kind
Turquoise thoughts of tender teal touch
Amber kiss from the sweetest lips of love
Red reverie flying me to day star like dove
