I Gaze Towards An Eastern Place

~ Morning light now comes to glow on weary smiles and waking eyes As ribbons of a crimson flow paint dawn upon these early skies I gaze towards an eastern place, so far and yet so near to me In hopes of dreams I long to trace, such beauty for my eyes to see And as the heavens cast their shine, a canvas tinted sapphire blue This wondrous day again is mine as I awake to thoughts of you ~

Thanks so much Anne-Lise. I don't think she is a neighbor, at least not that I know of but I am sure she would be a wonderful neighbor if she were. : ) I appreciate you my friend. And the truth, my day was cloudy as well, I just looked past the clouds. : )

The beauty of your soul illuminates in your morning light. I love how you have us gazing to the East and then to a sapphirine blue canvas! A beauty!

I am happy to know you are enjoying my poetry with your morning coffee. I am having coffee as well but there is no need for sugar, your sweet words will always do the trick. Thank you Sandy.
