Lonely Dawn

The brief mist of an early light weakens, fades

Before the pale strands of sun show the way

 In a  crazy world non-stop rushing,

The hush of a lonely dawn slips in unnoticed

And births another day.

 

Lonely dawn how I wish you’d stay

Caressing my sleepless soul

Bathing my mind with your serene glory.

Stillness borne by power unimagined

Few gaze upon your majesty.

 

Witnessing your pageantry by default,

Rising from the cold ashes of a sleepless night

Ringside seated, gazing on

As a feeble darkness crumbles before the mighty light.

 

Shall I wake them?   Would they see or even understand?

Just why this lonely dawn

Is such a needed friend.

This is very moving and descriptive, and the soothing feel of the time is conveyed. Whatever the causes of the sleepless night, I hope you find divine comfort for the coming day.

I was reminded of 'Be still, and know that I am God. … God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.' (Psalm 46:10 and verse 1)

My faith and my recovery have taught me to look for the good things.  I was kept awake by an aching knee/ankle.  Byproducts of a recent nasty leg break.  Even in hospital I met so many who were in greater need. 

I am a lucky man to have that peace and even more fortunate to be able to feel it.

 

Thanks for the great feedback
