Blush of Dawn

Reflection No. 13 from Wide-Eyed Wonder

Blush of Dawn,
You greet the day with reverence.
Softly you show your beauty
With pinks and blues across the canvas
Of the eastern sky.
With held breath,
I await the promise
Of a new beginning,
Fresh, innocent,
Pulsing with life.
Blush of Dawn,
I receive your gift
Day upon day.
I stumble out of bed
Hoping I have not missed
Your morning glory.
I sit in my chair
Anticipating your arrival.
Faithfully you appear,
Reassuring me
That beauty and hope live on.
Blush of Dawn,
May I become your mirror,
Reflecting hope,
Colorful and life giving.
May I offer the promise
Of new beginnings to others.
May I surrender to the day,
Radiating the Blush of Dawn
To everyone I meet.
And when day settles into dusk,
Once again, I behold heavenly glory.
Hush of Dusk,
You whisper a nighttime lullaby:
All is well,
Surrender now into the deep unknown of sleep.
Let your dreams be colored
With pinks and ambers and blues.
May the Creator within you
Inspire dreams of blissful peace.
