Starting afresh, eyes awake and squinting in the brilliance of morning sunshine.
Through the anonymity of darkness, sun battles the elements to rise…..
Rise it does!
Through the open window the sound of the morning lark, trumpets a new beginning.
Shattering the silence with the triumphant call of the wild, and having called, soars….
Soar it does!
Tearstains on the pillow, recounting the tale of a heart deceived and broken.
A once held belief that hurt so deep, so raw, so ravaging, never heals…..
Heal it does!
Glancing towards the mirror, touching a cheek once wet with pain and defeat.
Now with a bloom that promises a rebirth, a challenge facing a new life beginning….
Begin it does!
All's well …..
Thank you so much Tamara for your generous words..I really do appreciate it so much! Lodigiana x
The tone and imagery of your poem are overwhelming. A peaceful serenity will overtake us if we see the beauty in each new beginning. The singing of the lark helps us to open our eyes to a brighter day. : -)
Refreshing words show that sunshine and the brightness of day is most certainly uplifting. Things can always change for the better.
It's nice, and I loved it, but it doesn't rhyme, and has no meter, is it really poetry, like Kipling, Longfellow, Whittier, Service, or Ogden Nash would write?
Thank you John and so pleased you enjoyed it.It is written in a free verse style the definition of which is that it is a literary device free from limitations of regular meter and rhyme and do not follow scheme rules yet still hopefully provide artistic expression.I appreciate your reading and commenting..Thanks again
