Daybreak

I woke up in dawn today
With daylight yet to show up in the horizon,
Chirping of birds seemed music to my ears
I soaked in a pleasure hitherte unknown
I’ve always been a late riser
For I go to bed quite late,
I love so much the stillness of night
Till now, it’s been my faithful mate.
Today it was all different
As I now not the charm of daybreak –
A pleasant feeling engulfed me soon
Enticing me to go out on trek.
Ambling across to the foot of the hill
I rounded it from a side to gaze at the dale,
The first streaks of light were about to appear
The nature, it seemed, still wore its veil.
And then that wondrous sight burst forth
As ochre coloured rays swept everything around!
Nature rose up in its resplendent glory
With soft breeze producing a murmuring sound .
Words are indeed of little avail
To paint for you a picture of that scene
Nature is the canvas for that painter laureate
Was all that I could glean.
I walked along the aisles of the meadow
Everywhere there’s a riot of colour,
Sweet smell of flowers wafted in the air
Creating a surreal atmosphere.
Dews could be touched on petals
Roses appeared to have been just born,
Thus I was greeted this morning
By my new found friend- the dawn.
