Dawn
The azure sky welcoming the sun with warm embrace;
The dawn breaking up in soft colours of red and grey,
Waking up the daffodil that lay still in the sleepy morn,
The ever melodious birds' song cheering all along.

The path stewn with carpet of leaves and flowers;
Beckoning the sleepy dawn with a colourful cover.
The dark night pierced by the glorious golden delight,
Dazzling the dew sprinkled leaves with glitter bright.

Tall and sturdy trees, branching higher and higher,
To catch a glimpse of the warm ball of fire.
Swaying in the breeze with profound desire
To welcome the light with pride and fervor.

The birds leave their cosy nests on tall trees,
To spread their strong, small feathery wings,
And soar high up in the sky at first light breaking
To kiss the lovely dawn a very good morning.

The tiny butterflies with little yellow wings,
Flutter lightly with joy when the light creeps in.
Tapping at the colourful flowers small and big,
Annoucing the arrival of the big morning shine.

    Reading this poem feels like taking a breath of fresh air in the morning! This poem perfectly captures the sheer impact of experiencing such a scenery of mother nature in vivid details. Also a great way to metaphorically describe a new beginning with a hint of hope! Love your poems aunty! Please keep it coming!

    This poem reminded me that being engrossed in our busy social media driven lives we forget to appreciate the small things that subconsciously give us joy like the beauty of nature.

    Nice poem! But, What would happen If the Son of God and the Moon, the mother of God take leave for 3 days ? Next April 8th there is a Solar eclipse and 'horned' devil comet, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is also passing. God's fireworks expected ? as "Wickedness has reached its climax" ? So says following St Padre Pio's Old Prophecy available on youtube, titled, "Padre Pio's Final WARNING About The 3 Days of Darkness"... https://youtube.com/watch?v=IKVTrWxD0Ok
