Dawning Wishes

The sunlight peeks through the clearing
Of the trees that align with the road
The morning ahead, at last, nearing
With all of its greatness bestowed
The hopes and the dreams of tomorrow
Now present to start on their way
For time is a moment we borrow
At the start of every new day

The dawn is but a soft mixture
A blending of darkness and light
The dim giving way to the tincture
Of yellows and oranges and white
And in all those colors, a promise
An effort to give life one’s all
For the dawning renews with such purpose
That one must forge on with its call

Each journey in life, a beginning
A dawning of each day anew
A balance of losing and winning
Made wholly and uniquely you
And now, here you are at the dawning
The light smiling down through the trees
Will today be your day to slay demons
Or carry on with incredible ease
