Dawn by Mike Logan - Your Daily Poem

Dawn
by
Mike Logan

Dawn comes on velvet tiptoes
To shade the eastern skies.
She lifts rose colored fingertips
And bids the sun to rise.

This soft eyed golden goddess
Steals mountains from the night,
Unfurls her glowing banners
And brings the gift of light.

Mike Logan grew up in Kansas but adopted Montana as his home state in 1968 and remains there today. A high school teacher for 25 years, Mike retired in 1991. A passion for trout fishing led him to a new career as a wildlife photographer; a companion career writing cowboy poetry evolved soon after. Author of numerous books and recognized in 2006 as the Will Rogers Male Cowboy Poet of the Year, Mike appears on TV and travels the country sharing his enthusiasm and creative interpretations of life in the West.
