our night-time terrors
evaporate with the dew
dispersed by the sun’s first pink rays
greet the day
with sweet voices raised
welcome in the dawn
each new day
let’s summon the sun
with a song

Wonderful shift from the dark first line to a complete turnaround later on. Perfect poem for a Monday!

I think that you are totally right here, Chris, you’ve got to start positive (even if you’re not feeling it or things around you crumble!). Never lose that ability to see things through the eyes of a child.

I think this would be a good stance for adults as well. In the end, waking up to a new day is something to sing about–even if we have to be reminded from time to time.
