New Dawn Rising

Scarlet beauty of the sunset
today's scars dancing in the sky,
vision's splendour on display;
shaded memories begin to die.

Hues of contrast against the harsh,
beating heart drowning in delight,
never fading despite the night;
melody dancing in the light.

Dying forgotten in the dusk,
life rising; not rushing for the door,
held secure in the arms of grace;
hope now dancing to a new score.

Day passes – just living in regret,
my failures comes as no surprise,
when surrendered to my Jesus;
dawn arrives dancing on sunrise.
