New Dawn
(A Whitney Poem)
Awaken!
As morning breaks,
New sunrise,
To wings flock takes.
Foggy skies,
Vitality,
That reality implies.
Greet the day
As the birds do,
Lifted up
In morning dew.
Every way,
Just drink a cup
Of this new dawn for you.
Amen

Author Notes
Swallows greet the dawn as the sun burns through the fog. It awakens the soul. I was camping in southwestern Minnesota and had my morning cup of coffee with this sight.
