The Start Of A New Day Poem by Jeanette Telusma

Right before dawn the atmosphere shifts.
My senses heightened with anticipation.
I've waited patiently for this day to arrive.
The start of a new day.
The sun beams with such radiance,
I'm compelled to open the curtains that serve as barriers.
Oh the sweet smell of exhilarating fragrance.
As the sun streams in I notice every corner exposed.
Every dark corner must show it's self,
for a new day has come.
No longer able to hide under the covers.
The barriers have risen up to let the sun through.
It's time for the start of a new day.
As I stand and witness transformation in the air,
I'm filled with great joy, peace and aspiration.
With this new shift I'm convinced change is always good.
It signifies a new leaf on life, a new level of maturity.
Somehow it confirms what was felt from within.
Prior to this point, it was hard at times.
But I kept on moving forward
because I knew it would all work out for my good.
I am much wiser now, muscles toned.
Confidence is now my middle name.
I stand on a firm foundation, not of my doing.
A new day has come and I welcome it with all my being.
