Morning In Glorious Emergence

I manage my planned early rise in hopes dawn will kindly provide me 
time before others converge in the joy bounce of family noise.
With silent glee for this vacation cabin, well worth our money splurge,
I tiptoe out to the porch.

Fresh, early morning beauty twinkle-dance performs upon the lake’s 
sleepy surface and the sight sigh-settles bliss among my accrued 
anxiety bits.  Nature’s most enchanting chords sound-lift my awe
with full force as truth re-surges within my soul.

Morning in glorious emergence nurses me with a wordless,
restoring sermon felt purge.  I watch life at the nearby pond 
where birds group-peek for worms while three unconcerned swans 
mellow glide behind the fronds.

Glad am I for nature’s catharsis to all in me the city daily twists.
I am so porch and nature settled, I nearly miss the eager kettle hiss
warning that family is in my midst and hungry for their morning grits.

Caycay, the way you used your own style of made up phrases works VERY Well in this poem. I just love this one. You came up with some very cool images, like the one, chords sound-lift my awe. Very creative work. I hope to see it high on the chart. I am getting ready to get off here now. I spent two hours here last night and had only 7 comments to return this morning, which is fine. I need to get ready for movie day!! (and jump on my trampoline first!) It's so good when you visit Soup!
