Dawn upon a country plain

On ascent,

gone a scent

fills the sky

thrills the nigh

with sweet- promises.



Now the distant sky colours-

hues of glory to be seen.

The procession of hours

awakens this life- this scene-

to the hope that’s all ours-

hope for our flaws and sin.

Drawn back- the curtain of Night.



A bird sings,

a bard brings

quills and inks-

chills and thinks

of this- rhymed tribute.

About the critique

@ D.D: I do want the critique... for people to tell it as it is. I just didn't realise marking all of them meant not getting any. Sorry. Will be more careful next time. lol...
