The breeze caresses my skin.
The sun warms my face.
I feel hope inside again,
That warms like an embrace.
Rich colors blend in the sky.
Showing me endless hues.
A sight that urges me to try,
And forget my list of to-dos.
Birds sing the music of dawn
While waves roll to shore.
This moment, all stress is gone.
I feel-life can be more.
Cool sand covers my feet,
Centering me to Earth.
Mornings like this – invigorate.
I can recall my worth.
Sunrise on the beach brings me
Hope in a new day.
It highlights possibility
And tells me, I’m okay.

Such a lovely poem to hope and new days and beginnings. And this brings to mind how much I love the beach and how it has been too long since I have been to let the waves and sand touch me.

Thank you for reminding me (so beautifully) that every sunrise is a hope 🙂
(even when we sleep or there’s a cloud cover, the sunrise is still there…).

You’re so welcome. I need the reminder myself from time to time. But new days can bring us hope-never stop believing that.

I long to feel my feet touching the warm water of summer.. Only problem for me is that sunrise is way to early for me… In summer around 3 AM… 🙂
