Do you not love the sunrise?
Golden dawn,
Or cloudy skies, no matter.
A new day,
A new chance
To get it right.
As the dawn breaks the dark,
a fissure opens in the soul
Letting in the new light.
Harsh words spoken yesterday
By me, or to me
Are now behind me.
Today,
in this rising light
We can try again
To be the person each of us wants to be.
We can try again,
To honor ourselves
And those we love,
To let the past go with loving kindness,
To welcome this moment
And all the moments to come,
Fully into our lives.
The first ray of light comes
And illuminates the darkness.
Listen to the birds songs
Welcoming the day.
Be like them,
And sing your song to the dawn.
To be sure, I love the sunrise. Lately, I have not seen it, but it awakens me despite my deep slumber. I saw this Rumi quote this morning, and it described how I felt upon waking to the sunlight filtering through my curtains. This is my attempt to share that emotion with you.

Beautiful quote from Rumi. Beautiful poetry too.
Thank you so much Joel! It means a lot to me that you like it!
You’re welcome. Have a lovely weekend.
Touched me…. especially when I realized that a new day is a fresh beginning and a chance to let go of tiffs and arguments…
Thank you! So happy to hear it helped! 😊

I’m not a morning person, but every time I see the sun rise, I wish I was. The air smells fresh and clean like the day. You’ve captured that here.
Oh thank you so much. I’ve not seen it for awhile., but I love the quiet and the light. I’d like to get back to seeing it more
