The solid moon watched the death of night

The ocean groaned, straining to push the tide

Dew wet, clutched by the trembling hands of time

The blanket of dawn fell

So slowly to reveal Mother Earth

Silhouetted against the horizon- in the throes of birth

The crowning glory peeped, blotching the sky fire red

In the symphony the trees swayed

To the hearing of waves….

As if on cue awoke the birds

I wittering in confusion, heralding

The arrival of a new day.
