A New Dawn

Misty dawn in innocence
how soft you rise;
to greet the infant morn
in cruel disguise.

Who can tell what treachery
this day will bring
to blight some poor life
with loss or wicked sin.

Come misty dawn
in damp dewiness dressed;
wake this sleeping world
from her uneasy rest.

Come now in kindness
for us all I pray,
like an angel heralding
a gentler way.

Come with a sighing breeze
and warming sun
to recharge this weary planet of ours.

Come,
reassure us that this earth
will be at ease,
and for the future of all
its creatures,
PEACE
