As Dawn Woke, Uttering Its First Shining Rays

As Dawn Woke, Uttering Its First Shining Rays As dawn woke, uttering first shining of its rays Night's darkest veil vanished into whispering winds Rooster's clear crow, signaling a wonderful day Full of life, with golden treasures love's truth portends Bliss a'flowing as our love endures, as we pray. From soft flowering fields, precious dream comes to me As cool winds blow, I see deep longing in your eyes Looking at our names, carved in that Sycamore tree Our promises made under brightest moonlit skies Ringing forth again, love vows from romantic seas! My Love, Time can never your soft-kisses erase Nor those nights we begged passion would never flee I long to see you walking in beauty and grace Beneath the massive arch of those tall black-oak trees Nothing in this empty world, can your love replace! As dawn woke, uttering first shining of its ray Night's darkest veil vanished into whispering winds Rooster's clear crow, signaling a wonderful day Full of life, with golden treasures love's truth portends Bliss a'flowing as our love endures, as we pray. Robert J. Lindley, 7-03-2019 Rhyme, ( Where Sweet Treasures Abound ) Note- Original version from 1979 edited today 7-03-2019 to present as is now composed....

I spent my teens reading, growing in a love of elegant language, expressing the powers of love. You have accomplished all that here. Tank you.

My dear friend, there is a grandeur in your poetry that no other pen possesses. Romance, in all its appreciation, shines in the majestic imagery of this beautiful gem, Robert. Another poetic gift to be treasured. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you my dear friend. Your comment is indeed a most appreciated treasure by this too oft tired old poet. When writing romance it comes easy to me as I was once a young prince/warrior/poet- wandering in this too oft darken realm in search of the purest love-the sweetest darling and the most alluring angel. Each time such was found -it was I who faltered - who foolishly caused the loss. Call it youthful ignorance, would perhaps be quite apt. God bless..

Thank you my friend. I am doing well as of now my friend. My new meds really help me. This was first composed in 1979-- 41 years ago, almost 42.. About another great love that due to my youthful mistakes got away! God bless..

Wonderful imagery, you make it easy to see this scene; well done.

Thank you my friend. I see that perhaps I should have tagged this as Romanticism instead of just Rhyme! Gonna change that a Romanticism is the more correct classification. God bless..
