A new day unfolds
as dawn’s colors seep into
the fading night sky.

. . .

I awoke today
to see the silhouette of
Rainier surrounded
by glowing orange and pink
sky; grateful for a new dawn.

. . .

Dawn is the
consistent promise
of another day,
welcomed with chirping
of the song sparrows,
chickadees
and finches
whatever the weather,
sunny or dismal,
hot or cold;
another day has begun.

. . .

Each morning nudges me
into starting afresh,
giving me the choice
if I want to embrace
or hide from
the new day dawning.
I only have one life.

. . .

Today is over;
colors fade seamlessly
into the darkening dusk
but will reappear at dawn
in hues of soft pink or mauve,
painting a new morning
that waits to unfold.
