As Dawn Brushes Darkness Away

Ever so gently Dawn comes to greet Darkness,
touching, teasing, caressing,
blushing with delicate shades of color.
Then with rushing speed, she brushes him away.
Dawn secretively allows form and shape to be seen.
Bold silhouettes stand tall. Others float upon the sea.
Ocean waves applaud the action.
Glorious sun prepares to rise above it all.

Bright rays burst through openings in the clouds,
dance in streams above the horizon,
reflect upon waves moving toward shore.

A new day breaks upon the scene.

Victorious light has ushered in the morn.
Hush and color of newness afford breath taking drama
Quiet calm and beauty bring confidence and joy.
Reality of the creative, redemptive God, offers peace.

A Salute To Many New Dawns

Where do we begin when
the road traverse is so many?
Where do we end
when the ends seem to be many?
We walk only to see many ends
as another beginning.
Ah! I see a vast ocean of love,
a love to behold.
Where do we begin when
the road traverse is so many?
Where do we end
when the ends seem to be many?
We walk only to see many ends
as another beginning.
Ah! I see a vast ocean of hope,
A hope to climb.
Where do we begin
when the road traverse is so many?
Where do we end
when the ends seem to be many?
We walk only to see many ends
as another beginning.
Ah! I see vast ocean of purpose...
A purpose to live...where freedom is free,
where love is dear,
where life is precious...
and others are one with us,
and where our thoughts are led to salute
to a haven of many new dawns.

In Every Beginning

In Every Beginning

In every beginning is an end.
In every beginning is a purpose.
In each end is a meaning of an existence!
As every newborn cries...
In every beginning is
A beginning of a life itself.
In all blossoming bud of a flower.
In dewdrops on the grass,
going up to the sky, to form rain.
In dormant seeds under the ground,
to perpetuate trees and plants all around.
In the beckoning moon and stars at night,
to guide our moments of rest with light, so we may
welcome another dawn.
In every beginning is
An echo of GOD's Heart...
Reverberating - in the deserts, mountains and hills,
seas, rivers, brooks...running in distant terrains, with
Songs of life, echoing to protect
A beautiful unverse.
In every beginning is a task.
A task for a greater end,
to exist, to love, to live,
" To multiply and replenish the earth."
To co-exist in peace and beauty of each other.
As we all follow The Commandments of Him.
Our LORD...Thy GOD.

In Every Beginning

In Every Beginning

In every beginning,
A life is born, a life to suffer,
A life to enjoy and a life to sacrifice.
In every beginning,
A new born cries, a miracle!
A Creation of The Supreme Rule.
In every beginning,
A cry of new life summons and beckons...
Every breath of sigh, every bit of hope and,
Every breath of gladness.
A cry of new life!
The beginning of a miracle, a miracle for living!
A Reason To Live and A Reason To Exist.
A reason to ponder, a reason to prepare because,
In Every Beginning there is An End...
An end the humans bemoan and wish not forfeit!
In every beginning,
Darkness envelopes and beckons as:
The Earthly Threshold closes Its Gates.
In Every Beginning A New Kingdom Awaits...
" Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done."
In every beginning,
Every single soul awaits...
A Paradise to enjoy with Life Everlasting!
