FIRST PLACE

Symphony of the Sunrise

  
"Oh, give me a sunrise, a garden of beautiful flowers, a 
symphony of bird songs, and a forest of whispering trees."

                                                    Quote by _Constance


Memories shake the ocean of my sleep,
as I set sail into the sunrise of dawn;
I am lost in the hush of dewed flowers,
and a sky of purple and gold fades to gone !

I lay still listening to a bird symphony,
the threads touch my soul and my heart;
morning arrives beautiful and strong,
but, mother why did you have to depart ?

Oh, still in your garden a blue bird sings,
as trees are reflected in a pond you made;
so magical the sky of each veiled sunrise.
these memories part of my dawn parade !

Dear father why did you have to leave me,
now, I find you in speckled drifting dawn clouds;
over years you gave me all you know of the forest.
Now, I walk in dawn's mist with tree-like shrouds.

But, forever the birds will sing your love,
in each sunrise I press you both to my soul;
and with each morning symphony I feel blessed.
though, this heart of mine now has a jagged hole.

Unseeking Seeker August 23, 2024 at 7:05 PM A sublime poem that tugs at the heart, combining pain of separation with vibrance of aliveness, all in one breath, fully immersed in the human experience. I absolutely enjoyed this one immensely, Constance, thanks for sharing.

Valsa George August 23, 2024 at 4:44 AM This is so beautiful and equally touching. You rise and greet each morning with sweet and sad memories of your parents. I can feel the pain you endured when you lost your dear ones at a young age. I can also see you drawing a lot of comfort from nature. Love both your poem and the quote, Constance. All the Best! Constance La France August 23, 2024 at 2:24 PM Valsa, thank you for the compliment and lovely comment, my father taught me about nature, it brings me comfort, my mom taught me how to love, Constance

Gary Radice August 21, 2024 at 1:30 PM Constance, for some reason it's been a long time since I clicked onto your page - too long. There's an air of poignancy and loss wrapped in serenity here. I particularly loved the opening line that pulled me in. Cheers - Gary Constance La France August 21, 2024 at 7:14 PM Gary, thank you for clicking on me today, and for the comment, and compliment, Constance
