Embers of Dawn

As the horizon blinks awake, a blush spills over darkened lands, with tendrils of light stretching out, a promise for the day to rise.

Birds take to the sky in flight, a chorus breaking the stillness, as the sun ignites its fire, a brilliance that chases shadows.

Each moment breathes with possibility, a canvas for dreams to unfurl, inviting souls to step forth, apart from the night, into the light.
