Alone on a Beach at Dawn am I

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
With the splendor of Mother Earth
While many in their beds still lie
I watch the new day’s birth

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
This morning is so grand
To look out where the sea greets sky;
Where the ocean kisses land

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
O’er the sea there’s pastel blush
Of orange and pink low in the sky
Painted by the Master’s brush

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
My footprints in the sand
Are erased by tide that’s flowing high
And that washes where I stand

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
To dawn’s glow the full moon
Surrenders with a final sigh
As it slips behind a dune

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
Dolphins seen in morning light
I listen to a gull’s wild cry
And watch pelicans in flight

Alone on a beach at dawn am I
My feet wet and unshod
As the end of my walk draws quickly nigh
I’m in awe of the works of God
