Dawn, Dawn, Dawning

Black and blue — inky contour, bruised azure — gathering dawn and dawn’s reflection. Dawning. Anticipation. Optimism is a choice.

Dawning

Fading photograph:
lakeside location,
cryptic contours,
stunning sunning,
day gradating
from deep blue 
to golden glow.

Fall foreground:
leafless trees,
still boathouse, and
guardrail or fence. 

Median mood:
a distant shore
mountainous but
warm, welcoming,
serene, peaceful. 

A picture. A poem. Anticipation. Dawning. Choosing optimism…
