The covenant of the sunrise

Choosing Joy

By Taylor WardPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In the hush of dawn's cradle, where shadows cling to the edge of waking dreams,

There lies the untold splendor of a new morn, weaving its whisper through the thin veil of time.

Every breath, a fragile thread spun from the loom of existence, dances with the breath of the earth,

A fleeting whisper of grace in the quiet chamber of our being.

Hands, soiled and weathered by the unrelenting embrace of toil,

Bear the mark of their covenant with the soil, the eternal partner in a silent dialogue.

In their grime, a testament to the sacred ritual, a holy pledge to the land beneath our feet,

Where each grain of dust holds the echo of a promise made under the watchful eye of the sun.

Hearts, though tainted by the grime of day-to-day survival, find their sanctity

In the unspoken bond with the land that cradles our weary souls.

Here, amidst the silent whispers of the trees and the ancient hum of the river,

There is a cleansing grace, a sacred purity in the relentless cycle of giving and receiving.

In the shadowed corners of each day, where the light dares not venture,

There stirs the hidden glory, waiting in the quiet solemnity of labor,

An unsung hymn sung by the earth to those who listen,

In the depths of the morning’s first breath, in the solitude of the dusk’s final sigh.
