Roosters in their morning race
Proclaim the break of day
Competing to be the loudest
In their crowing display

Birdies join this joyful chorus
Chirping to a serene ballet
Nature’s melody makers
In morning’s light they sway

The wind, a gentle maestro
Enters with a soothing cool embrace
Filling the room with freshness
Embraced in a gentle swirling grace

Grey clouds hold the sun at bay
Only for just a moment long
But it soon emerged, bright
As night gives way to day’s song

“It’s DAWN”, all of nature sings
The world awakens in a magical array
With nature’s symphony and sunbeams
Morning ushers in a brand new day

Afterword: I wrote this piece a few years ago. I was working/living in Northern Nigeria at the time and there was immense unrest and upheaval. Amidst all of that, the joys of nature were all the more appreciated. What a blessing to open your eyes from a night’s rest, to know you’re alive and be able to bask in the joy of nature’s wake up call. Finding GRATITUDE in each moment of LIFE!
