Like a burning lantern rising
Dusty light envelopes me
Dawn ignites a fiery sound
More pleasant than crystal bells.
Morning light eclipsed by trees
And mirrored by untouched streams
Bountiful in its beauty
Incomprehensible in it’s mind.
Independent golden grain
Caressed by the unsteady wind
The dark and panoramic view
Is background for the silver clouds.
Rainbow in the sky, without droplets
Three colours paint the new morn
Layered on the literal background
Like running in a dream.
Fresh air and dew-heavy fog
Dampens the wild lilies
Burning red like splendid kings
To match the fire of the sun.
An explosion on the horizon
And finally warmth to break the night
Brings forth a plethora of senses
Just another unseen morning.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Nice one, Deasun.
Deasun T. Smyth your poem is a celebration of the natural world and the wonders of a new day. It captures the magic and mystery of the early morning hours, inviting us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Well done!
A wonderful way to capture the beauty of where we live <3
