DAWN

Dawn blushed; betrayed her waking sky
To gently break another morrow fine.
Night waned; the black recoiling, shy
Of Nature’s ruby morning wine.

The chorus rendered frantic caws and
Chirps and other avian song,
Mapping out the 'mine and yours, ' and
Goading more to sing along!

Quiescent water, deep of lake,
Reflected out the hazy red, but
Through the glass, a flick, a break:
An urgent tail from hidden bed!

And in the meadow, waking faces
Calmly spread a coloured veil;
The dew disclosing spider laces–
Oft with once a fly’s travail!

Dawn blushed; revealed her inner peace
While handing on another blissful day.
Night ebbed, relenting to release of
Warming blood that gives to her display.
