Actual poetry form is Pensee

stillness
earth holds its breath
while all of nature awakens
there's a soft glow, dew kissed petals
waiting for the sunrise     ...

If it feels like your heart is breaking
Just let it go
For you won't feel it like that ever again
Hearts never break the same
If she left you and you don't know why
Just let her go
For you won't change her mind, it's made
You'll never be the same
If you feel the darkness cover you like night
Just let it...

meteors
shooting stars
the Pleiades
Orion's Belt
the Little Dipper
the Big Dipper
stars
galaxies
the moon
satellites
police helicopters
sirens
a bullhorn
time for breakfast!...

Is it the darkest, before the dawn?
Or could that old adage be all wrong? 
Decided to find out for myself
It’s four AM, I’ll know before long

The almanac says sunrise at six
Camera on tripod, keeps a fix  
It’s aimed right where the sun comes up
Ten minutes between camera clicks

At five forty five, into high gear
First...

Before dawn's light breaks
Defined stars twinkle bright
Orion's belt glows

Smaller more distant stars clear
Millions seen, millions unseen  

Compelling are they
Drawing inviting come out
Cool crisp autumn air

Wonderful starry night sky
So thankful for the vision

Day or night all the same
Clock ticks to put hour its name
Steps i take are all counted
From bed to balcony no railing mounted
I breath air to recognize the season
And pray god to gift me the vision

I heard Johnny say cloud are fluffy and white
I am not sure weather he is right
Sun only make me warm...

The hush before dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day


Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks


Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard 
stillness shrouding all...

A chirp before dawn.
The morning chanting of the natural orchestra
announces a new day....

Brothers
Blue,Grey--divide
North,South

Moonlight—
Captures their fate
Dread sight

Dawn breaks
Bugle beckons
Hand shakes

Death waits
Behind a cloud
Devastates...

The wee hours before the dawn
Small birds join in a chorus of song
A sweet and natural symphony
That makes your heart want to sing

Small birds join a chorus of song
Nature in it's awe, the air so fresh begins to warm
The rising sun, announcing another day
Fresh dew renews all plants in every way

A sweet and natural symphony

Though morning comes to those who wait,
There are no guarantees that light
Will lessen load or gladden heart.
With access barred to heaven’s gate,
When happiness seems out of sight,
Thoughts rise that pain is just our part.

To choose to live in fear of that
Seems self-fulfilling prophecy
For all life’s lessons have their pain.
Contortions of an acrobat,
A different kind of...

In my chest is a black void
That has left me annoyed
I'm tired of rhyming schemes
And vapid memes
I'm tired of perplexed faces
In outrageous places
Life is like a checkerboard
Where every king is abhorred
If I reach the other side
I'll still be a pawn trying to hide
My thoughts are obfuscated by clouds
And this inner anger that shrouds
This is my...

Stillness of the morn
just before dawn
fills me with calmness and joy
blackbird is singing
attracting his mate
whilst a gentle breeze 
awakens my garden gate
feeling so good 
as I watch the sun rise
a gigantic gold orb from the sea
bathing all in redness and gold
diamantes glisten on the sea
just before dawn
here by the sea
this truly is the place for...

Before the moon gives reign to the ruling sun, I'm awaked by the crooning of a lover. Not for me does he sing, for he seeks a mate. It's those tranquil moments I treasure, when through my open my window I hear his voice. Sweet love songs in the silence before the waking of dawn...

The day will come soon when Jesus will beckon.
    The time draws near when He'll call us away.
Keep your lamps trimmed and always be ready,
    Christ Jesus will come and He will not delay.
Be filled with compassion,joyful and loving.
    Stand on His Word, be faithful and...
