day breaks
in bold pinks
and bright oranges,
the glow of a welcoming fire
warms the dark horizon
as the sky softens to blue,
the air is crisp,
it contains life,
another day
in which to live
whispered calm -
the total darkness
of the dawn
carries hints of peace,
perhaps tumult
will not own the day;
for now,
chaos rests;
we may breathe deep this peace,
but must understand
it is fleeting
breaking day -
its light -
will bring noise
