A New Day

Can you hear the sound of the dove,
Feel the cool air rushing past your face,
Will you revel in the glory of the sunrise?

The moon still hangs in the sky
While the pale pink creeps in,
Birds twitter their greetings.

No cars whir by, no train’s distant whistle,
Simply the stillness, the stirrings of nature
Bringing us the new day.

A new day for chances, for love, forgiveness,
A new day for happy reflection,
A new day for plans to unfold.
