Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Wake Up My Heart

Most mornings I get up before the dawn
Wake up my heart, take coffee to the swing
To feel the thrill each twilight's beauty brings
Endure the rush, as birds sing morning's song

Oh, how I love to watch the morning yawn
Bounce from night's cover as if on a spring
A smile so bright, it lights up everything
Magnificence beyond my lexicon

And on occasion when a morning breaks
Gray clouds refuse to let the sky turn blue
The beauty falls in droplets and or flakes
Until the unrelenting sun shines through

I wake my heart to watch each day begin
All through my day, that peace remains within

CayCay Godwin December 3, 2017 at 4:03 AM I'm am back. You are gone. Really desire simple knowledge only at this point, but not easily obtained: I want to know you are you and you are okay. You are in my constant thoughts and prayers. It never occurred to me that when I finally got back, your presence would be silent. Make some noise on up in here, Dan - please. So good to read you again and this one thoroughly Danny-delivered. All would be perfect if you'd just show face. Then write happily from your Soup place. Danny - where?
