Dawn


With the morning sun

Comes these thoughts

Waking into a world unknown

Yet with a lot of expectations

The sun brings cheer into the heart

Brightening the skies and the clouds

The known from the unknown

Yet there is a fear in the mind

The waters shine in the suns reflection

Mirroring the beautiful sky with it

In these waters life resumes

Expectant of the future

The wind kisses the waters

Pushing and shoving in places

The light breeze moving around

As though breathing around the waters

The winds push the fire blazing bright

From the pyres of yesteryears death

Feeding the fire with its freshness

Alive the flames lick the sky

I who am this witness

Watch in sorrow as my past dies

In the flames of knowledge

As this new reference dawns in me

Hopes there are in its millions

But they recede in respect to the elements

That flame the desires of life

In a mind tormented by fate

These thoughts that dawn today

In the flames of hope and fear

I wrought in me the faith

To live this life and endear

May this year bring peace

May there be love in all eyes

May there be success in all endeavours

May the fruits thereof be enjoyed
