A new day welcomes me
Masked as dark and gloomy
Beginnings stalk between the trees
I think the weather’s moody
A light mist touches my cheek
And fear strokes my heart
As the sun prepares it’s entrance
As the clouds assemble their art
Wisdom dawns on me
As pivotal as the sun
What I fear is a gift from God
Signaling change is to come
So as I awake beckoning new
As I drape my hand through Earth’s sweat
I realized that time was hard at work
Working to make sure I never forget
Forget what lies ahead
As the Earth transitions between night and day
Time wanted to make sure I always remembered
That joy etched itself into what was dark and gray
So…this morning, I no longer fear
The sweet mist outside my window
I now know the heavens’ secret
I have the inside info.

I really like this! These are my favorite lines:
As I drape my hand through Earth’s sweat
and
That joy etched itself into what was dark and gray
I also liked how you ended one line with a word and used that same word to start the next line.
