Notes About The Poem

Skies

Skies

Dawn is here.
The sky is gray... and white. 
The mixture;
is a thousand shades 
of shadow and Light.
It is cold, and not. 
It is beautiful..., 
and it is eternally free. 

The birds are early. 
They are waiting for... 
the bees
to wake the trees, 
to start the world, 
over and anew. 

The water in the river...
is flowing still, 
ever until the end. 
So many asking so much, 
of what there is, 
and thankful for little. 
Yet, there is...
more, 
to be thankful
for. 

The bridge (to heaven) is empty,
this time of day. 
No one going anywhere. 
They... just stay. (home)

this was lovely...I have appreciated more dawns and the quiet twilight time since I had to walk dogs but half the time I stay up too late to get up early enough! :)

I use to be a night person... lol... I have night poems also... :) But since I have moved north... I find the best stars are seen just before the dawn. So I make a point of going to bed early to rise with the hope of the briefest glance at perhaps heaven herself.... Hugs and blessings to you. You are an excellent poetess yourself... Ann
