Behold The Dawn Poem by Iquo Umoh

The dawn appears like
Magical light that
Sears through the darkness
Making me see through my eyes
The enthralling visions of the day
And with hopeful thoughts
The future that I see not

Bespectacled with the sunlight
Shadows are dispersed
And the true form of life's elements
Are revealed with colourful splendor
The sun dances on a pond
The birds flutter their wings
Around a tree to make nest
The squirrels run out of burrows
To fetch feed for their young
The works of nature I see at dawn

As I look at nature alone
Thriving at its duty
With eyes of faith I see my future
Lit up with light and love
I see my dreams fulfilled
I see my destiny achieved
I see my purpose accomplished
What more do I request
Nothing else than behold the dawn.
