From breath of morning sunrise
Opportunity arrives
Relinquishing everything past
Welcomed outlook ready to thrive
Positive choices embraced
Shadows of darkness escape
Energy no longer wasted
Spirited attitude takes shape
Warmth of light’s heightened presence
Selfish pride replaced with peace
Sowing landscape’s delightful joy
Humbleness restores heart’s new lease
Hope nourished from restful night
Refreshment blesses each hour
Minutes rebuilt with renewed strength
Destiny’s boldness empowers
With every rising tide
Life’s uncertainties hide
Darkness fueling mistrust
Tomorrow must adjust
Patience growing thinner
Emptiness serves dinner
Desires searching for peace
Light waiting to release
Stillness fills morning’s air
Hope replaces despair
Bitterness losing strength
Gentleness at arm’s length
Shadows fading away
Harmony finds its way
Heart dances with delight
Weariness taking flight
Destiny’s honest steps
Truth knocking at doorstep
Trust anchored, full of love
Unlocked grace shines above

Border of wooded green
Gateway of shadows
Dancing in morning’s light
Every step aglow
Invitation of peace
Each precious shadow
Marking nature’s footprint
From its depths, hope flows
Another adventure
Wrapped in each shadow
Leaving hint of darkness
Tomorrow shall grow
Life scurries all about
Hidden in shadows
Following daily script

With gentle purpose

Structured by mankind
