Gladly shall I greet the morning
At the rising of the sun
All the land so bright illumined -
Hail another day begun
Hearken to the sweet birds singing
Songs all hearts to thus delight
Every soul to full awaken
Bidding their farewell to night
Fresh the dew upon the branches
Chilled the early scented air
Night's dim shadows softly fading -
Golden ribbons everywhere
Shimm'ring sunbeams fill the arbours
Spreading light as angels' wings
Spirits dance to greet the dawning -
Joy and hope the new day brings
Soft notes turning to crescendo
Dawn is like a symphony
As the light grows ever stronger -
Nature in full harmony
Yet another sunrise beckons
Waking all from slumber deep
Open wide the shuttered windows -
As the daybreak ends your sleep
A bright morning with new hope and, fresh desire to live as a new person are presented beautifully. A painter you are!
beautifully crafted, made me feel waking up to a new day with all its promises.
A delightful homage to the new day. Oh to let closed shutters keep, so I could have a lit' more sleep. Thank you.
I've relished your melodious verse as much as your positive mood greeting the morning. The beautiful imagery used conveys to us brightness, light, joy and hope. Indeed, Nature in full harmony. Maria
Valerie, What a delight you are to read. Am hoping that this comment takes as in the past they have not. More or less gave up. Anyway, your poetry just shines not unlike the break of day!
A beautiful poem Val you show through your words how awesome nature is. You must have a fantastic vista from your window?
among many morning poems, this poem is number one for its delicate graphic description and the usual Valerie Dohren brand of immaculate rhyming...! ! !
