Dawn's Early Light

Dawn's Early Light

Dawn came
sweet and slow,
rolling in smooth,
like the softness
of a woman's skin

Birds singing to the morn,
day's light breaking anew
just before the sun
began its burst of color
and spread it's fingers
of warmth toward the Earth

I lie in bed in total
acceptance of what
this day shall bring,
the gift of life, the
ability to be the best
me that I can be,
all over again

Believe in yourself
trust in your higher
power and know
that today is not
just another day...
