I remain awake to see the first light of day,
To peep silently, my face upraised, seeking blessing
Of the soft lavender glow that bathes the land
The dawn chases the tired shadows of the night
As the spearing rays gently tuck away
The loitering stars that still remain,
I breathe in the freshness of a day reborn
Feel my soul rejoice at the momentary peace
Let the birds shower my ears with sweet conversation
I turn to settle down on my bed of feathers and dreams
While the yawning, stretching world outside
Rises up to face the challenge of another day
A second chance of sorts, a debt to repay
