Beautiful Day

Awake... my first breath in the quiet of an April dawn
becomes a halted gasp, caught and hung in mid air
A warm, silent smile deepens as eyes are drawn
toward the distant horizon where the face of the sun rising
Veiled by misty, morning dew spreads its warmth through
dense morning haze across skies perfectly inked in gold
and raspberry hues, making a promise of a beautiful day.

Robert Lindley Date: 5/1/2014 8:53:00 AM Today is quite cloudy here but your words gave sunshine were little existed before! Your line about morning dew. Reminded me of a line I wrote my wife ten years ago. "My precious darling I wait for you like the thirsty grass for the morning dew." I believe I've posted that poem here a couple days ago. Very nice presentation and I know your talent will continue to grow! Login to Reply Audrey Haick Date: 5/8/2014 9:40:00 PM I'm going to read "A Daydream" right now! Thank you for your kind comments and the encouragement, Robert.

Audrey Haick Date: 5/1/2014 8:43:00 PM Wow, Robert! That line written for your wife is "to die for" !! I'd love to read the whole poem if you'd let me know what the title is. Thank you for reading this and for your very kind comment. It was partly cloudy here too...we've had our share of the rain also.
