The Dawn … 1906-2k12
Oh! Come, my friend!
hop this ledge of borrowed time!
Let's do the stars, not blink at life
Nor lose forays to silent winks, that
still, in a hazy space wretchedly lost, to
unfold the promise of natures mirth; which
stems and bubbles in vistas grim
yield ourselves to outlandish whims
then peep and peer like children lost
with ginger hands to tattoo frosts
beam through crevices at the first full rays
at glistening columns of piled up hays
Wrest from an hourglass elusive dreams
to seek from time, the where and when
from whence the light shall silently call
lift from our face the numbing pal
let's go and see!
Lets tap in glee!
let's turn the tide of seas, the moon...
shield our naked being from noon..
solve the mystery of a rainbow's dance
so in a wholesome happiness prance
float on the skies and sands alike
wide eyed soar in dazed amaze
as body and soul the heavens graze.
Sleep like an angel in natures lap
leisurely wake and blissfully clap
from divine dales of pleasing slumber
ripe flowers and fruits pluck in numbers
float on waves of a melodious spring
past dark and silent dreary nights
past shoal and grove of unseemly sights
touch those bewildering foggy dreams...
float on the mist of a breaking dawn
naughtily pluck the veil of a night
let's go and see the moonlit sky, to
shake the limbs of frozen trees
soar with the birds and hum with the bees.
let's go and steal the rising sun
absorb the bracing rays as one
Oh, come my friend
before it dips, low again
before the day, is lost in vain.

An effort to tread a parallel path on the same general theme.
I am always inspired by the power of your words and magic you create with them. Almost all of your poems are very well written with great imagery and message. Yes, The dawn is very thought provoking poem.It is hope of a new day; forgetting past regrets and getting maximum before it's too late with minimal time in hand. And the loveliest thing of this poem is, that there is no escape from unpleasant reality but an enthusiasm to capture the happy moments with different angle and mode of thinking while living in same circumstances along with your dear one.
Pure imagination soaring on the wings of poesy, It can take everyone with it, Magnifique! Wonderful imagery
Love nature, especially the dawn. Beautiful poem with great images. Good job.
beautiful Poem... reminding me of my own shades i saw in mornings and how i reconnected with every soul responding to me... even a blade of grass... superb poem
I love the beginning, especially the third line. This poem reminds me of how good it can feel to step outside in the early morning :)
Ah, wish we could but have the time to pursue such fancies as this! Wonderfully colorful imagery, filled with pure magic. The stuff that dreams are made of......a delightful read, Saadat.

Thanks for the credit! ! ! The sunset & sunrise both are equally the wonderful scenes of Nature...See how Keats describes the scene: .......................His palace bright Bastioned with pyramids of glowing gold, And touch'd with shade of bronzed obelisks, Glar'd a blood-red through all it's thousand courts, Arches and domes, and fiery galleries: And all its curtains of Aurorian clouds Flush'd angerly.... The Dawn is a beautiful nature poem on your credit...
