Dawn To Dusk

The dawn is breaking, the world awakening,
A brilliant new day is born,
Light blinds the horizon, forever mistaking
A sweet memory of the night’s forlorn.
The leaves flutter with a dancer’s grace,
A cloudless vision above,
Tears of pure gold streak the pink summer haze,
A morning bursting with love.
The day is dying, the dusk is crying,
Lost is the very last chance,
Deep blue shadows kiss the silver lining,
A goodbye wave, a final dance.
Sprinkled with diamonds, shades of dark gray,
Twilight caresses the noon,
A late night sky, a memory of day,
The finale - a radiant moon.
