Dawn

From my porch I long to see

How this new day came to be

First the graying of the night

Just before the burning light

A silver haze backlights the ridge

And lights the way for Heaven’s bridge

For surely Angels tread this way

As they set out to sow the day

From God’s love new light springs forth

Breathed out through his hollow Holy North

What carnal mind could ere’ display

The burning promise of a bright new day

Nice poem Ray. In my ignorance, I didn't fully understand these two lines.

'Breathed out through his hollow Holy North

What carnal mind could ere’ display'. But I liked the appreciative tone and thought the rhyme worked too.
