(inspired by the poem 'Overcome' by Jasmin Whyte)
When was the last time I witnessed the dawn
when I was actually there to feel it enter my skin
and pierce me through to my spirit
When was the last time I felt awe
and surrendered and succumbed to it
When was the last time I believed it
Too long, too long I’ve been cloaked in darkness
How I long once more to be in the arms of it
To be awakened by its kiss
and gently aroused from my sleep

There is so much feeling here; it brims over. In fact, in all of your poems there is a great wealth of emotional power. Now I'm off to read Jasmin's poem which inspired all this beauty. I think you two are a team. (smile)
WOW Sonya! this is probably one of my favorites of yours. It's sensual and spiritual at the same time.
Soft, sensual and full of longing. Very pretty poem. HG: -) xx
With that first trace of sun on a window glass, one dares to believe that the world has begun all over again. You are in good poetic voice in this one. Lovely write, Sonya. Kind regards, Sandra
