Pulls back the blanket of night,
Stars and moon tumble out of sight,
...
A glimpse of perfection in every way
Watching the sun rising on a new day
...
When the arrow is fired and off to and fro
And you think and you wonder just where it might go
...
There are other ways in which to express.. happiness,
An emotional rush from young love's first crush
...
When night taps my window, day's work is all done
Twilight and dusk in the wings wait as one
...
If you value your days then take them real slow
Be careful, keep safe and mind how you go
...
A rhyme is sprung, and may it be smart.
May it come with a point and come from the heart
...
Phantoms in the mind gather....
Appear, on cue, shapeless blurs, fade to grey.

I am a Maori woman from NZ. I love the power and beauty of words. My poetry is a reflection of my own life experiences and journey. I' ve always loved literature but have never attempted to write anything until recently. I suppose you could say I'm a late bloomer.)
Morning Wakes Up
Pulls back the blanket of night,
Stars and moon tumble out of sight,
Colours stream from fingers of light
Cloudy shoulders shake to a rosy yawn
Day breaks open drapes of dawn,
Virginal, sacred, newborn
Morning wakes up!
