Taking Flight. Poem by Fay Slimm

Taking Flight.

Rating: 5.0


Darkness dislodges with
.....................sweeping of dawn.
Crystals of clarity form
...................... without sound.
Night now is bound and captured
............................ by morning.
Blanket of stillness folds
.............................heavily round.

Trees stand translucent
...................in mantles of mist.
Daylight reshapes every shadow
.......................... of night.
Facing fresh air earth now stirs
........................ to be kissed
And life wakes, sparkles
................ and takes to new flight.

Evocative and distinctive, this tribute to dawn is delightfully uncluttered. I particularly liked: 'Night now is bound and captured ............................ by morning.' and 'Daylight reshapes every shadow .......................... of night.' An inspiring poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Out of the darkness, the wee hours of morn a glimmer of grey heralds a new dawn slowly nights cloak is fading away the shadows of night, have now come out to play
