Following Daybreak. Poem by Fay Slimm

Following Daybreak.

Rating: 5.0


Some daybreaks are followed by moments of awe
As silence suffuses with dawn
Into canopied scene of a lightening world
With the glory of day being born.

Colour gradually seeps as the sun exits east
To begin the ascent into day.
Blushing with welcome pink cloudlets applaud
The increasing warmth of each ray.

Standing on tip-toe to see, smell and hear,
Through air freshly washed, my clear gaze
Catches the song morning gently begins
As the curtains of day slowly raise.

As I watched I just HAD to give praise..

You draw a nice picture of a new dawn. One of my favourite parts of the day. Well done, Tango.

You have written beautifully of a happy dawn. My favourite times of day are both dawn and dusk. Your poem reminded me of the following: - 'Listen to the greeting of the dawn, Look at this day because it is true life. In its brief time it is the reality of our existence, the blessing of growth, the splendour of beauty.' (Part of a Sanskrit Chant)
