Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

A Tryst in Interlude

I rise when gilded starlight still replete the skies
Never have I beckoned hours of abstruse sleeping
I hear elegiac trills as a lone nightingale cries,
evoking memories that conjure tears of weeping

In halcyon moments before the paling of dawn
I contemplate my sentiments in tranquil solitude
Before the world awakens with an unstifled yawn,
the moon, sun, and I rendezvous; tryst in interlude

When velvet darkness fades to soft aurorean glints,
there, upon the horizon is painted a nuanced murk
Colors of daybreak; a blended mural in pastel tints,
created by a grand Artisan's hand, the Master's work

Sam Kauffman July 30, 2024 at 12:22 PM The "Master's work," indeed, Lin. There are so many beautiful images "aurorean glints," "colors of daybreak," "blended mural in pastel tints" just to name a few. Your poetic artistry is on full display framed by your faith.

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 30, 2024 at 7:22 AM Dear Lin, what a wonderful reflection on the beauty and tranquility found in moments of solitude before dawn. I loved the introspection, the passage of time, and the artistry of nature delivering insights and emotional clarity. This is one of your deeper moments which I enjoy. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Lin Lane July 30, 2024 at 7:50 AM Good morning, Daniel and thank you for recognizing the beauty of having those quiet moments before dawn. I'm pleased you found depth in my lines.

Kim Rodrigues July 30, 2024 at 6:58 AM I think it is a gift to rise early, even to hear a nightingale cry. Perhaps the catharsis is meant for you. To contemplate in tranquil solitude, not to rise late, but to take time to think. I don’t like waking up too late. Lovely imagery, Lin! Hugs ~ Kim Lin Lane July 30, 2024 at 7:05 AM Thanks so much, Kim. It's become a habit for me to wake before dawn no matter what time I fall asleep. People exclaim over the beauty of sunsets, but sunrises are every bit as breathtaking.
