Sunrise

it stood on the night
 split the east in fierce silence
 as the blackbirds sang

Hi, Viv, thanks for reading my sunrise poem and for directing me to yours, giving me a new image to visualize in my mind. Beautiful! Praying for your Janet as God is a God of miracles that He still performs today. I pray for Janet's healing. And I encourage others here to form a circle of prayers for Janet. She is covered.~~~ Darlene

Thanks Jan, Janet was fit enough for a day at the seaside on Saturday, hence my Poem 'Sheringham'. A brief respite in the war, she's just taken several spoons of morphine and gone back to bed. Viv x

Reading your Haiku, I felt I was peering out curtains at night, looking eastward and got a chill. Very effective ... CayCay

I love the anticipation in the half-light, waiting for that coruleum blue to get a wash of crimson. Lovely time of day. Viv x

A wonderful metaphor for your return, whether intended or not.

Never thought of that. We've had some terrific sunrises recently. My favourite time of day, and we're blessed with several blackbirds, too.

A powerful image is produced here, Viv. I can see those blackbirds...in silhouette against the rising sun. // paul
