Greeting the sun struck day. Now Unfolding myself, Stretching out the creases, Winking, blinking tired eyes. Brain fog slowly ceases. Greeting the sun struck day. Exuberance sets in. There, for what lies ahead. Plan a course of action. Decide which road to tread. Greeting the sun struck day. Should I take the high road, Where fragrant plumage grows, Or is the low road best, Where sparkling water flows? Greeting the sun struck day. A road that leads nowhere, Is quite another choice, As to the track I take. Up to my inner voice.

I love this. I read it several times dear Wen. I haven’t tried this form yet but reading yours is so inspiring. I smiled at brain fog as I suffer from it all the time these days. I especially love the lines, ‘ Where fragrant plumage grows’ ‘ Where sparkling water flows’. Lovely imagery. I also love the more reflectiveness of the last stanza - inner voice knows best. May the sun always shine on your road filled with sweet, smelling aroma’s xx

I just read it again myself Chris. Your beautiful words enticed me to see if it was that good. I think one day you must lend me those rose colored glasses that you wear!! Don't get me wrong - your comment of encouragement is greatly valued. Thank you so much my sweet friend. Wen.
