Sunrise a dawning, an anew of life.
Horizons a brightening, cherishing thy light.
Thee Earth awakens as thee breathes thy breath.
A residue of serenity alas to protect.
Thy sun stills over thee skies above.
Glistening thy rays, upon they flood.
Scorching thy heat that blisters upon.
But alas soon devoured by thee time along.
Clouds in thy motion, drifting with ease.
Suns tumble downwards as time shortly leaves.
Thee glow of ember lavishes thy skies.
As thy world rests and thy chaos surly dies.
Darkness cascades to end thee in peace.
Hoping for thy night to end and finally seize.
All falls silent, all finally comes to an end.
But alas to soon start life's circle all over again.
Author notes
A poem that demonstrates the world's circle of time upon a sunny day. Using a touch of old English, but still having some sense made.

I agree with FelineMuse, it has a fun feel to it. Not vernacular, so you have to think about it, though. I do loveth it xD

Twas a piece of divine beauty that fell up me, and to know it was written by thee, oh what merriment was I given (^.^) so far, its my favorite by you. I love your work and I hope you continue writing

Very nice piece with lovely flow and rhythm. The rhyme is well done and your thoughts are conveyed well with nice phrasing and imagery. Thanks so much for this fine entry. Hugs, Bunny

The idea here is really nice. You not only describe the cycle of a day, but also the cycle of someone's life or even the cycle of their day within a life. Much of your language is quite beautiful. You have included some really nice imagery that really capture's the mind's eye. Good work!

The use of old English is fun. I approve. ^_^
