Another day

by John Butterfield 

sunrise

lifting hope

and expectation

of possibilities

that only

a new day can bring

each dawn

takes me further from

past disappointments

and mistakes

and on

towards the bright hope

of new days not yet born

so I go on

step by step

creating a path

not yet trodden

with enough light from the rising sun

to illumine my feet

as the destination

becomes defined

in the early morning light
