I dreaded dawn’s first light.
I did not know what it might say
Of life’s long tangle, or, now finally,
Of the lonely world.
Might dawn yet say:
“The world! How can it be so beautiful?”
~ Robert Penn Warren, from “Aging Painter Sits Where the Great Tower Heaves Down Midnight,” The Collected Poems of Robert Penn Warren

Such a gorgeous image married hauntingly with your beautiful words
Hi. Not my words and not my image, but 100% agree, gorgeous image and beautiful words. Right there with you.
and there is no answer to all its beauty, it just is.

The dawn breaks with promise…a silence that affirms the world’s beauty. How beautiful
Yes…
Honestly, Dawn doesn’t give a shit. It just keeps the time.
You are rolling. So true!
All about choices. We wake up and decide to make it beautiful…
Truth!
