A New Day Poem by Ruth L. Rivers

“Hello, I’m here? it proclaims
A declaration of a new day
Each moment to come
A mystery breathlessly waiting
Flashing of light in darkness
The mixing provides beauty
With rainbows set afire
On a horizon of burning pink

“Hello, I’m here? it proclaims
Telling all around of life
The screaming child is born
Declaring a moment in time
Quick hands seek solid peace
Comforted only as it becomes one
With all about intruding
Letting go,
Preparing for what is to come
