Poem by Yvette Stenzel

      February 2012                                                                    

A New Day

Be happy when the morning awakes
And greet each day anew
Do not frown at the rising sun
Nor at the falling rain
How dare you
Don’t you see they rise and fall for you

Cleanse your heart of nagging nonsense
  Silly predicaments and dramatic thoughts  
Welcome the day instead
Ease into the new morning each day
Measure for measure
With small yet steady steps
Innocent and ready like a child
Be happy when the morning awakes
It rises and falls for you

Welcome the new day your good fortune
It rises and falls for you
With the summer wind and river wild
The new moon and vapor clouds
When the morning awakes
Greet the sacred dawn messenger
In silent reverence and awe
She may bring a new rainbow
And secret messages
You know
