Morning Has Broken

Bright is the dew that embraces my earth As morning breathes with a lingering sigh; Oaks in teal ripple and glimmer in peace With hymns of sacred grace I can't defy. In this free motion, tranquility abides North winds drift along, gentle and refined Encircling on the core of quietude; That hours glide perfectly, weaving a bind. For acceptance becomes my life’s keeper Each passing turns into a rune, a fire; Till lightness of ease imbues vibrant thoughts Benevolent as sunrays that inspire. Morning leans again with a lustrous face In calm persuasion, my heart and soul meet, A mist bathing in its celestial glow When dawn resounds without any conceit. ..............

Simply gorgeous! Sumptuous imagery and powerful phrasing. I love '...oaks in teal ripple and glimmer in peace,' and '...each passing turns into a rune, a fire.' A splendid piece!! Best wishes, Keith

Great--that Cat Stevens' song is one of my of all time. Your poem is beautiful. The rustling and patterns made by the leaves--I can just feel it. Yes--acceptance is a potent pill. It gives us peace. But--no work today, the office is closed on account of snow. So I am alone at home.
