First of Morning Uplifts

How lustrous the first of morning, When Aurora spreads her brocade Laced tassels weave through daylight’s ring-- As she glitters on fragrant glade. While midstream, breezes decorate A harbor lined with tulips red; In vivid inlays quite ornate Till birdsong explodes, overhead. Imbued by some godly delight Hopeful revelry shines aloft-- That I, a keeper of the night Lay wide- awake on prairies soft. Beholden by dawn's jubilee The wisp of heaven breathes in me.

Sweet Brilliant Precious Nette *:*(* I Wouldn't Say, 'God Like,' As Much As We Would, "HIS HAND." Yet, One Does Live Within A Place Which Seems Bent Upon Stealing, "HIS BEAUTY'S INDISCRIBABLE GLORY"....But, Your Poetry Is Exquisitely Beautiful....KLove *
