Just Before Dawn

Stillness of the morn just before dawn fills me with calmness and joy blackbird is singing attracting his mate whilst a gentle breeze awakens my garden gate feeling so good as I watch the sun rise a gigantic gold orb from the sea bathing all in redness and gold diamantes glisten on the sea just before dawn here by the sea this truly is the place for to be whilst folk they are sleeping and sadly are missing this wonderful picture I see there is no other place I would rather be just before dawn on this magical morn with the sun the sea and me Written 28th May 2023 CONTEST 'A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE no 1220 SPONSOR BRIAN STRAND 6th PLACE in Premiere Contest

It's the best ever time of day for me, Ann. It's soothing once birdsongs fill the air and there's nothing else but their trills in the entire world that I'd rather hear. Nicely penned.

Lovely pen Ann, such nice imagery and an insightful line of thought. Trust all is well with you, we're just back from Grange over Sands for 5 days where the sun was shining from morning till night every day, quite a wonderful time! Blessings always, Gordon

dear Gordon, how lovely to hear from you. I have not been writing for some time as my Parkinson's has worsened, however, it was such a stunning morning I felt compelled to share it with others too. Grange over Sands sound wonderful and I am so glad you both enjoyed it Gordon. Thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate your visit. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
