Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Sweet Reprise

Sunrise breaks a silent night 
          Bursting forth in sweet reprise
No more fears or demons dark
      Only hopes and dreams to please
 
With each shadow cast away
         With each measure of the morn  
Serving what we need the most
           Chances for the best are born

Sometimes on a lonely eve
    Thoughts will wander in the woods
Paths are hidden by the leaves
    Eyes deceived by cloaks and hoods

Yet, we know we must hold on
                    Everything begins anew
Faith emerges with the sun
           Better times are sure and true

Kim Rodrigues June 6, 2024 at 6:29 AM Sunrise breaks a silent night… Sometimes on a lonely eve Thoughts will wander in the woods…Yes, faith and hope emerge with the sun. We must get out of bed, start anew. We leave the catharsis of the night with its toss and turns, turn over a new leaf. God is so good that He gives us fresh new mornings with light and birdsong too. Cheers! Mike Gentile June 7, 2024 at 4:59 AM Cheers Kim!! Happy Friday xxoo
