another dawn breaks
casting a hazy glow
around the mountain peaks
slowly creeping its way
into the valley
carving the sky
the sun has a path
one tracing the earth
always predictable
but always welcome
as we start each day
the sun continues course
and snow starts to melt
underneath the warmth
to let the grass, the trees
break through once more
building buds and blossoms
to decorate the land over
and green comes home
reaching ever, ever skyward
but let the sun stay
right where it will stay
and follow it ’til dusk
for nothing can change
the permanence and must
of the sun, of its way
