Dawn At Last

Reborn here now, without baggage, no heaviness holding me down. Troubles all tied in a package, shipped to Unknown and never found. I'll rise, as one called Aurora, reborn, here now without baggage. Your bitter words - a plethora darkened my soul as they damaged. Tickets we thought bought safe passage gone with all wishful dreams we birthed. Reborn here now, without baggage, free to conquer and own the Earth! Your debts to disdain are now paid. unheeded words at last managed. Like dawn, I shine now unafraid-- reborn here, now without baggage! October 4, 2021 "Dawn" contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker

Poetry needs to have some emotion in it. You did very well with battling against love lost and on to a brighter future. Well done.

Hi Ann, I feel the emotion in your poem and I love the part about troubles all tied in a package, shipped to unknown and never found. Cheers my dear friend :-)

A beautifully written poem and I love the way you thread your lines together in the morn. The poetry does shine, as the title suggests. It's a great motivator!

Rebirth without Baggage, what a wonderful way you weave your words in dawn, just like the title, the poetry gets brighter and glows. I do feel some anguish, yet the strength of the poem, offset that for me.

Hi Harry! Thank you so much for your kind comments! I couldn't find a way to work Nature's dawn into the refrain, but I'll bet some did. I'm curious to see. Take care.

By letting it go, we can be reborn more happy and free, this has a nice flow to it, I like the like 'I'll rise, as one called Aurora' - very inspiring!

Thank you, Michelle! This was a hard poem for me because I felt it was bleak. But the good thing is I'm learning different poetry forms :) Take care.

'without baggage...Troubles all tied in a package.' Just love how that works, Ann. Here's to rebirth! Lovely penned, Gershon

Thanks, Gershon! I didn't know what direction this poem would take, then it led me this way and I followed. :)
