Notes About The Poem

The Moment

The moment lingered
                 When I saw daybreak
                        In the eastern cloudy sky
                               Gold, soft yellow, red surprise

The moment lingered 
       When up above charcoal clouds
            Moved slightly revealing a waning gibbous moon
                Looking down darkness engulfed the woods

Those moments lingered
          While breakfast was prepared
               Thoughts of quiet beauty filled the air
                     Birds flew in to feed from seeds

Then in a flash
       A yellow light illuminated darkness through the trees
             A new day born in a moment
                 A whole period of time just for us to live

Duke Beaufort June 13, 2024 at 9:15 AM Sara, you have a charming and living style that immerses me in the moment you describe. I like the break taken to enjoy breakfast...kind of like preparing to take in sustenance. The way the day begins and your philosophical statement ring true.

Jennifer Proxenos June 1, 2024 at 1:37 PM For me the best part of the day is when dawn breaks, I feel my heart is like a butterfly at that moment, a sudden excitement reaches deep down within me every day and there is nothing more beautiful to watch and experience. I make sure every day I'm awake for daybreak, then go back to sleep. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Sara Kendrick June 1, 2024 at 2:35 PM Jennifer, I no longer get to see it every day and I miss that part of my life. Maybe I can start experiencing it again with a little effort put forth. I am glad that you do enjoy it each day. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Sotto Poet June 1, 2024 at 6:23 AM Sara, it was a great "moment" to say those things. Dawn takes a long breath, deliberately holding it to allow others to observe and admire. This concept is moving. Wishing you many blessings! Sara Kendrick June 1, 2024 at 11:41 AM Thank you, Lasaad. Today is another one given to me. I am already exhausted, and the day has many hours to go. Thank you for the many blessings. Sara K
