Climbing the Heights

Friday, May 29, 2009

Sunlight brushes breathlessly over the horizon

Sunlight brushes breathlessly over the horizon
Drop by drop it descends down the mountainside
Slowly yet steadily it fills this void of darkness
Quickly consuming all blackness that stands in its way

So breaks the dawn into the day
And so steals away the dark to the light
No more stars and no more night
The day has broken with the morning light

Oh come and wrap yourself in its warmth
Let it soak through your skin and warm you within
Gone is the cold of night
Now full the day and bright

So begins the day
And such a glorious one
The beautiful colorful rays of the sun
Shining down upon everyone

-Joshua Lee Foist
