Aurora: Ode to Dawn ©Dawn Minott

Beforeword: A week of poems about single words that each encapsulates the vast beauty of nature and the awesomeness of natural sights would not be complete without AURORA which also means DAWN. Yeah, I meant to do that!!!!! Enjoy …

Aurora’s essence, a celestial embrace of
Dawn, a name as ageless as time
In early morn, your light arise
Kaleidoscopic dyes you splash across skies

Breathtaking sight radiant hues of
Dawn, the breaking of day to unveil light
A mingling of colors across darkened blue
The world awakens—refreshed, renewed

Your presence heralds morning’s birth of
Dawn, with each sunrise hearts find hope
In your radiant glow, we trace our way
Guided by your warmth day after day

As the sun displays it’s rays, Aurora ushers in
Dawn, a colorful breaking of the night sky
In your name, a forever promise we hold
Of endless wonders waiting to be unfold

Aurora—the Sleeping Beauty in fairy tales told
Aurora—the Roman goddess of the dawn denote
A symbol of hope, dreams in tales, enshrined
Deity and beauty, aurora-dawn, forever entwined


Afterword: I hope you enjoyed this week of one-word wonders. Single word expressions that fully capture the beauty of nature and perfectly communicate the awesomeness of natural sights. Like the smell of the earth after rain’s first drops; the peace and tranquility of wind caressing trees; or being captivated by the moon, or darkness or the ocean.

  1. You know Dawn, this is so poetically beautiful and reminds me of my longing to see the aurora borealis. Watching pictures and videos of the northern lights always fascinated me and I always wanted to see the lightshow in person but never did. 😥 I love your beautiful ode to aurora’s spectacular essence. What a wonderful beauty to unfold and behold sistah queen. 🌎🌟🌠
