A New Day
Linda Ruzicka
Golden shadows fill the sky,
shimmering diamonds blazing
on the gentle wave tipped water,
mountains, shapeless in the mist
Alone I sit, contemplating,
the sunrise brings a new day
a sense of serenity, of peace
fills my empty and weary soul
The longing for the unknown,
the unrest, the discord, the discontent
all is put to rest, joyfully
I raise my face to the sun
