Notes About The Poem

Daybreak

The crescent moon lies upon his back
      At the fiery break of day
           While Jiminy Cricket sings his favorite tune
                   As the awesome Morning Star sends forth its full light
 
Morning Star keeps shining as doves begin to coo 
      Singing about his beauty 
           Celebrating with songs of praise
                How they enjoy the cool morning and their appreciation rules

Oh!! Soak in the presence of all the wonder
        Feel the delight of the new morn
              Just the touch of slightly moist air 
                 As it enters the lungs with each breath

Gradually, slowly Mr. Sun shows
        A little more colorful light
           I can't imagine how the swallows can swoop
               When still surrounded with mostly night

Pines' shadowy figures
     Stand like sentinels
           Still, quiet in the breezeless dawn
                  Soak in this moment given~ because tomorrow it will be gone

Kim Rodrigues August 29, 2024 at 5:11 PM Sara, you always seem to catch the “moment.” I think you must be an early riser. Hugs ~ Kim Sara Kendrick August 30, 2024 at 1:14 AM Yes, Kim, I do get up early most mornings. It is now a little past 4 A.M., but I did fall asleep early last night. I mostly have to sleep when I can, or I don't sleep at all. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
