Morning Light

Morning Light
Peer out of the night and into the light A new day is dawning. See the clouds with reddish light, How they charm our weary senses With an awe-inspiring sight. In the beauty, performing their duty, Of showing us all – that all is right. See them sailing, sailing, sailing, Floating colors of majesty unveiling. Through the stone-cold pre-dawn air With a promise they declare That beyond this vision’s dimensions Dreams of hope are given extensions Through a universal slumber, Deep and sweet past all compare. See the colorific clouds in flight, See the silver lin-ed clouds of light. See the stars bow out in worship As they wait for the next night. Hail the morning orb so bright! This dawn-awakening, new-day breaking, Lifts us up with heavenward sight. And our thoughts with hope a-glimmering Building dreams with love a-shimmering, By the filtering and the mirroring Of the unapproachable Light. Curiousdwk

“With a promise they declare
That beyond this vision’s dimensions
Dreams of hope are given extensions”
What would we do without dreams or hope?
Well done, David. It is wonderful to see you. **HUGS…
great work
Now this is an aubade too, isn’t it? The imagery, helped with the picture, is beautiful
The morning light is the sweeetest <3
Picture and words… what a beautiful combination!
This poem sheds a lot of light on our fascination with the earliest moments of Creation. Beautifully constructed.
I know I’m late to reading this, but the timing is perfect. Beautiful work, David.
after reading this….
well I… have been a-sailing upon silver-lined cloud, being bowed to by stars, and wish I didnt have to let go of such a heavenward sight..
beautifully put. It amazes me how words describe the beauty of nature so much better than pictures at times, especially when we’re trying to capture the beauty of the skies…..
