Slowly the darkness begins to fade
A more powerful force is bursting on to the scene
And slowly yet confidently the light overwhelms
Even the air changes
A warmth fills the space where uncertainty just was
Any sadness from before is dismissed, if we allow
As a person this ritual can seem predictable
Another day to accumulate shadows and discord
One more step in the eternal march of time
And then I hear a joyous sound
Simple yet overwhelming in its celebration
The singing is loud and the new day is greeted with fanfare
Beside me the dogs rise and stretch in the warmth
The birds continue their joyous song
While I think of all that has come before
They simply marvel at the promise
A new day.
