Nocturnal Retreat

Hi Sara, dawn truly has a wonderful palette of colors that, for me, drip from each moment of the sunrise. It was fun to try and paint that exquisiteness in words. Thanks for sharing this sunrise experience with me and for your lovely message. I don't see many sunrises, being a night owl, but when I do I am in awe of their exceptional beauty. Blessings and prayers.

Thank you so much dear friend. Sunrises, in my mind, speak eloquently of beauty born in new light with amazing colors and hopefulness. Thank you so much for affirming my efforts to capture this fleeting eloquence. Your perceptive eye and heart see beauty in a very special way that you express in your poems. Sending you blessings with each dawn!!

Thank you so much Jo! As the darkness of night retreats, daybreak puts on quite a show, even for a night owl like me! Sending you blessings!

Andrea, thank you so much! Sunrises are so inspiring. Blessings to you! Had fun playing with words for this string.

Thank you Lisa! Like you, I love the nighttime and write about night often when there is palpable peace and soothing quiet except for a little traffic noise or the sound of a lonely train whistle. Thank you for sharing in this time of dreams. I am so glad that this poem spoke to your love of night - truly a mutual admiration society! Sending you blessings under the stars and moon. All the best!

Thank you so much Deb! One of the reasons I love writing haiku is the opportunity to develop new imagery! So glad you enjoyed my endeavor. Here's to quiet midnights and peaceful dawns! Blessings!
