Dawn

Day breaks, the horizon brightens, slowly
With each passing minute, the Earth warms
I lie asleep in peace, Oh so lowly
The Sun awakens life, like passing storms.

Yesterday, I was a prisoner, of my mind
Today, Dawn dictates a new day
Yesterday, I was forced to only fly blind
Today, Dawn commands "There shall be no grey!"

Dawn says "Today you have a fresh start.
Yesterday your mind was silent, today listen to your heart."

Wow! I don't even know where to begin with this - this is great! I love how gently it starts out, very representative of a new day break altogether. Then you go into a stanza about the hope of a new day and again, the parallel there is great. A new dawn, a fresh start. I love how you gave Dawn such a powerful voice and I shouted "There shall be no grey!" in my head as I read that line. It's a very bright and hopeful poem, thanks for sharing!
