A NEW DAY BECKONS



A NEW DAY BECKONS

A new day beckons hearts awake to sing
   As jeweled dew drops freshen every blade
A flash of flicker-flight on morning wing
   Through Hemlock boughs renews the forest glade.

Eternity arises with the dawn
   In misty shrouded forests by the sea
The sword fern camouflage the sleeping fawn
  Beneath the soaring Cedar canopy.

Awake my soul, your morning anthem raise
   To join the Varied Thrush in Matin’s cry
Leap up my soul, your Recreator praise
   In silent wonder seek him eye to eye.

The darkness fades, behold the new day breaks
As all creation in Christ’s light awakes. 

~a sonnet written by David Robinson
