With midnight far behind and gleams increase, <br />Sunrise hints of impending breaking out, <br />The night almost finished ending its lease, <br />As now alarmed roosters begin to shout <br />Of dawn, while Yesterday floats downriver, <br />And sands of Time unload from Future's quay, <br />Moments that now encroach on Forever, <br />And crop Eternity of one more day; <br />But promises that need tomorrow's light, <br />To gild each dawn with lustrous hopes and dreams, <br />Could give a very miserable plight, <br />Once morrows come empty of sweets and creams; <br />.......The dawn that makes all aspirations bloom, <br />.......Could also bring forth truth that spells of gloom.<br /><br />Reyvrex Questor Reyes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dawn-153/
