Morning Rises Never Get Old

sometimes
the dark rides
mile long walks
get old in the cold
or driving rains

the thick mist
of morning
on roadways
of reddened paths
that have you
holding your breath
as you slide
through the curves
while the deer
run and play

the fogged up windows
needing scraped
tracks of leaves
scattered
across the floor
too wet to sweep

the rush of children
at your door
the laughter
building inside

the hugs
chats
smiles
and waves
of innocence 
keep mornings
bright

though
the one thing
i love the most
i must admit
are the glimpses
in the rear-view
as day awakens

the make you
want to drive
into the horizon
kind of passionate skies
unfolding

is somehow
worth it all
to me

There is always something beautiful to find at the start of each day if you choose to look for it, forward or behind. Wonderful Sandy, there is beauty in your words as bright and wonderful as any sunrise. I may save this poem for those cloudy days and use it as my own personal sunrise...if that is ok with you. : )
