To A Lustrous Dawn

Dawn breaks over the eastern sky
A blazed zephyr carries birds' chorale
To the stars and the moon, a goodbye.

On the horizon, tequila sun sighs
Lending verve to day's morale
Dawn breaks over the eastern sky.

Starlight ditties of lullaby
Give way to a cerulean royale
To the stars and the moon, a goodbye.

Chirping on my window-sill, a magpie
Feathered choirs, so mystic, surreal
Dawn breaks over the eastern sky.

Rosette tints radiate, magnify
A lilac sky swathes to reveal
To the stars and the moon, a goodbye.

Solar ripples intensify
Sparking a luminous appeal
Dawn breaks over the eastern sky
To the moon and the stars, a goodbye.
