A Beautiful Day



Dawn has arrived, rays of gold split the night
The sweet rhythm of birdsong, a morning delight
Wings all aflutter with colours so bright
A gift to the beholder, such a wholesome sight

Sunlight sparkles like diamonds, glittering upon a winding stream
Morning dew blankets the lush meadow grass
Bees buzzing cheerfully as they work for the team
Nature painting upon its canvas, the most supreme colour scheme

Two brilliant white swans glide upon a still lake
Together they drift, majestic and carefree
Breaking the mirrored surface, a delicate trail in their wake
A special partnership neither will ever forsake

Faces of smiling children as they run and play
A morning adventure awaits, an inquisitive foray
So many possibilities to mould like clay
Into the forest they go to seize the day

Young lovers lay cradled amongst fields of gold
Sharing a love so pure, each other’s hand they hold
Gazing in utter bliss at the blue sky above
Two souls intertwined, forever in love

Dusk is upon us, the day retiring to night
The blazing sun has subsided to a subtle twilight
Life hunkers down with a sense of dismay
Darkness soon to fall, to conquer the day

Flowers succumb to the night, to bloom again soon
Petals they close under the light of the moon
A brand new day only a moment away
A signal of rebirth from the cold night decay

A glorious golden sun is on the cusp of arise
Its warming light, the ultimate prize
Creatures great and small cease their solemn cries
For a new day has dawned, ready to rejuvenate, replenish and revitalise
