THE DAWN



The shadows grow longer
They will just hover around
As the sky lit up
In a riot of colors
A spectacular end
Making way for
Another spectacle
Where the sky gleams
With the twinkling stars.
Reflecting on the day it was
From one spectacle to another
Where one gives way for another
The order
The balance
The circle
Watching the twilight
Anticipating the new dawn
Musing upon the year this was
Letting it go with all its
Ups and downs
Welcoming the new
With open arms.
