The Day Breaks

The Day Breaks

Birds knock faithfully at my window
Urging me awake, its nearly dawn
Parting the curtains I see
The blue-black shying away
At the horizon
The arrogant sun
Can’t wait its turn

A familiar call fills the air
Which heart will fail to stir?
Cold splashes do little
Slumber stubborn to surrender

What is this scent that surrounds me
As I stand tall on the mat
Prepared to offer my prayer
And the day breaks…
