A New Dawn

A new dawn breaks
new light fills the sky
being grounded for so long
once again I look up to fly.

Fog and mist all around
unsure of my flight,
I hold hope and smile
as you light up the long still night.

Maybe I should have flown yesterday
maybe the best weather has passed
doubt and fear cloud my mind
as I battle with my past.

But something tells me it's a new day
that I must let go and start
that the brightest of weathers
lurks behind this passing dark.

Some things might have changed
but I shall brace this new light
shall not regret and burn
shall bask in the sunshine.

I don't fear for what I feel
as the sun dispenses the numbing chill,
for today I know that
you, my dearest, are my freewill.
