Sunrise Poem by Valerie Dohren
Sunrise
Where earth meets sky, around the world
A golden thread is softly curled
And then from sleep thus slowly torn
The angel of the day is born
To herald yet another dawn
Encircling all with dazzling rings
As phoenix-like he spreads his wings
And so unveils his gleaming light
Shining, incandescent, bright
To steal the shadows of the night
And clouds aflame with burning glow
With red and amber lit below -
There scarce could be more beauteous play
Than when the night turns into day
And when the dark is chased away
For at the rising of the sun
Another day has yet begun
Another day, your way to find
Another day within your mind
Another day... are you still blind?
Step, step, step this way
Into the brightness of the day
Into the world of beauteous play
After the dark is chased away
Thank you for reminding us of the beauty of a new day, as everyday life gets in the way. Wonderful poem yet again. You have a great talent Valerie. Another of yours I have saved to favourites :)
I really like this one. I like that hook you have of repeating the word 'beauteous, ' and, also, the scene you paint for us shines through really vibrantly, vivid as a good watercolor. It almost makes me want to wake up in the early morning tomorrow to watch the sunrise.
Oh Valerie, this was a beautiful way to start my day! Perfect metre, a lyrical gentle walk into a new dawn. Love it.
