THE DAWN

There is a distant gleam &
a steady flash
an unfeigned beam cuts
through the deadly dark&
sloughs it off
with dexterous spark

Rising with rapture &
superseding fervor
unfurling gold with
divine splendor

Never unfolds an
otiose ray
suffses honor on earth
everyday
Unfolding itself with adroit grace
it harbingers doom
in the indolent's fate

Indolence departs
for an aimless walk
to encroach & haunt
only when it's dark
