So silently the earth is quaking

As daylight pierces the atmosphere

The light of dawn is now breaking

A fresh new morning will soon appear

The black of darkness is rolling away

The sun begins to shine

Making room for the entrance of a new day

The handiwork of the Divine

Radiant light bursts through the sky

Announcing a brand new start

Birds are chirping as they fly

The night is forced to depart

As the glory of morning unfolds

How blessed are those who look upon

A brand new story untold

At the breaking of a new dawn

For Fun

    What a poignant depiction of dawn's quiet revolution—light piercing the veil of night, ushering in that sacred renewal. I especially love how you personify the darkness rolling away, almost reluctantly, making way for the divine canvas of a new day. It stirs a gentle reminder of nature's rhythms and our own chances for fresh beginnings. Thank you for this evocative piece.
