-- Dawn Yet Again --

John Herlihy

 

Dawn makes the new day profound.

First seconds of day wear its holy halo.

An hour to draw closer to the Spirit.

The day lost in the throes of beginning.

Most people sleep as the day awakens.

 

In shadows behind the light, God weeps.

Shades still drawn, shutters still closed.

The day flies in on the wings of darkness.

Stillness of streets marks Hour of Louds.

Psalms in the silence of dawn, yet again.

 

The day awakening in the here and now.

The dawn’s light reflected in house windows.

The light moving into the day, all anticipation.

All love and life captured in a single moment.

With God we weep, in tribute to this beauty.

Sentiments of respect and adulation for Nature, while so many dis-allow the magic of so many aspects of existence to merely pass them by. Beautiful work here, John.

Dawn bring be a new beginning or a resolution. Either way, there's promise.

Since tomorrow is never promised, each new dawn is indeed a gift to us, and if my name isn't in the obits, I'll eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
