What Is It About Morning

What is it about morning?

It must be the freshness and freedom
an issuing forth from night's rest..
It is flow from a real self
before the veiling of day's concerns..
There is a springing of words
seemingly from the morning sun
or from the silence of the new day
not yet stained by separation's illusions..
It is a portrait of ourself
as we always have been...

Charles, your poem is so short and simple -- yet, deep and profound. Something to be read over again....

How wonderful! What fresh new way describe how a person is when they first wake up. Free from worry, true to self, for that brief moment. Loved this!

This is so lovely, it very nearly captures how I feel as I linger after awakening, waiting to catch night's inspiration. I think the last two lines are a little off, and wonder if adding two more additional lines will fill this out.
