A Peaceful Sunrise Poem by Barry Middleton

A Peaceful Sunrise

Rating: 5.0


the darkness of the east is fading
a glow that claims that hope exists

the memories of night confound
as dreams dissolve in morning mist

in blind confusion fires of dawn
remind me of the blaze of war

the smoky haze of morning fog
conceals with guile my guiding star

until my eyes are open wide
and dreams fade in the flaming sky

I know that I am safe from harm
I pray for souls who had to die

I pray for widows and lost fathers
the children most who had to pay

extinguish war and bring them hope
a dawn of peace to light their way

Another amazing write. Morning brings a sense of peace and hope with it. I love it that your thoughts always turn to the well being of people. Awesome imagery to describe dawn. And closing lines add to the poem's worth.
