Rise and Shine @ Thursday, February 20th

Dawn's tender fingers paint the sky,
A canvas of hope, unfurling high.
February's whisper, a gentle breeze,
Carries dreams through awakening trees.

Like Hafiz's words, sweet and profound,
This Thursday morn, with promise crowned.
The sun, a goblet of golden light,
Pours joy to banish the fading night.

Arise, dear soul, to greet the day,
As birds sing forth their joyous lay.
Each moment, a pearl on time's grand string,
Invites your heart to soar and sing.

Let wonder be your faithful guide,
As you step into the world, wide-eyed.
For in this dance of earth and sky,
You are the verse, the how and why.

So breathe in deep this morning's grace,
And paint your day with love's embrace.
For you are stardust, earthbound yet free,
A miracle for all to see.
