As dawn burns away fog,
so Your light burns me –
pride,
arrogance,
deceit,
all melt in Your gaze.
Obscurity
and Denial
are no match for Your rays;
they squirm
and justify
but are undone like morning mist.
So rise,
Morning Star,
Your radiance
is welcome
to live here,
in my dark places,
where night has reigned too long.
Rise
and shine
and
paint me daybreak,
colour me rainbow,
and call me
Morning…
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Paint me daybreak, color me rainbow. Mmm, mmm, mmmmm…

Melody I love this one so much. Again, it has great meaning for me 🙂
I guess simply being human ties us all together in some ways – our experiences, while different, often produce the same inner results. Thank you for sharing, Peter.
