Mornings whisper, melting away the night
Gentling passions with magnificent grace
Silencing fears and tears with an embrace
Lifting the darkness with heaven’s sunlight
Dawn quiets the glistening of the moon
Reflecting stillness that sparks joy inside
Where laughter stirs the spirit to confide
In the breathless pleasure who is in tune
Sunup colors feelings in perfect praise
Charming the moments with eternal thanks
Puzzling minds who try to fill in the blanks
With stories of true love that will amaze
Listen to tales hewn by the rising sun
Yarns, bold as summer who won’t be outdone
storm exacerbates
engulfed life in surroundings
pristine crack of dawn
Date: 01-02-2022
though
we
let
the
gray clouds
cry
themselves to sleep
until
the
crack of dawn
sing out loud
Up bright and early at the crack of dawn
Seems that's been my routine forever
Don't wanna waste a single damn moment
Don't wanna miss a single thing ever
Time seems forever when we're wee folks
Old age is a bunch of decades away
Then all of a sudden it jumps up and bites us
Celebrated your 60th birthday today
Talk about the years literally flying by
Seems like they're in overdrive they do
Here's some news you young whippersnappers
Soon be waving your young life, adieu
Sure didn't start out to write a downer
Guess my age is starting to catch up
Usually, I'm over the top with the happy stuff
So back to wagging my tail like a pup!
My dawns never break with a crack, clap or snap.
My dawns are solemn and eerily quiet.
The cracks in an egg hit are jagged and torn
nothing like the smooth-edged slits of first light,
the wedges of bright light on the horizon, when day breaks.
Dawn is not sudden like the crack of a rifle or whip.
While it's true, dawn is quick and sneaks up on you,
the pre-dawn glow and beams herald its coming.
So let us all have a crack at dispelling
this 'crack of dawn' myth,
Dawns don't crack!
Okay...the jig is up,
And who feels the breathe surrounding life?
Daybreak in the mountain side,
What else seems to welcome me to a new compactible fight?
Jealousy,enmity or infirmity must grab nothing of the day with a smite,
Tell yourself about the hidden secret,
From now onwards,knowledge is perked from its real breadth,
Hallowed be unto heavenly kingdom for trampling over a geck,
It's conspiring how granny was lured into somewhere else,
Making me wonder if probably,this fight will end well,
Don't trouble the sun shining when you've been cautioned not to yell,
Far long that time is gone,
That's when the moon will appear only to count on what deserves an applaud,
And gracefully,when pride of life seems to diminish at the point of our walk,
Calmness will surely establish a key to make the tension blocked,
Welcoming you to the new day life has brought!
At the crack of dawn
The sight of the early morn
We rise and start over again
Another chance to brighten things my friend
Through the crystal clear air
There are gentle hearts that show that they care
Always the one to use words of encouragement
So others can be in a better predicament
The sun comes up as usual
Having nothing better to do
Rifles take aim and shoot
Fully unloading on the target
A small oval object on the lawn
Thin shelled after being laid
Discharged bazookas leave no mark
Dynamite with lit fuse explodes
Not to worry
A rooster crows after copulation
Another chicken creation born
Tomorrow is another day at this location
To take another shot
At a poultry mystery for breakfast
Solved only in the morning over coffee served
At the crack of dawn as cannons fire on
A scrambled egg should be easier to produce
If the sun comes up as usual
Having nothing better to do
Sound shakes birds awake
It’s the sound that Nature makes
Tis the crack of Dawn
At the crack of dawn,
I continue my journey-
Leaving my footprints.
Up bright and early at the crack of dawn
Seems that's been my routine forever
Don't wanna waste a single damn moment
Don't wanna miss a single thing ever
Time seems forever when we're youngun's
Old age is a bunch of decades away
Then all of a sudden it jumps up and bites us
Celebrated your 60th birthday today
Talk about the years literally flying by
Seems like they're in overdrive they do
Here's some news you young whipper snappers
Soon be waving your young life, adieu
Sure didn't start out to write a downer
Guess my age is starting to catch up
Usually I'm over the top with the happy stuff
So back to wagging my tail like a pup!

Commencement of day
Aurora hidden away
Onset first blush...clouds
listen to the
sweet corn
spark
as
i
run for joy
at
the
crack of dawn
The king
made a fun of our poverty.
Marble faced girls always thought,
wearing black scarves –
sweeping the floor of white mausoleum.
You made a death
a loving eternity.
We die daily
in the face of old shine.
Who shoots a peacock
on the tree?
I mourn for the blue peace,
let the clouds come.
Who remains unhurt
unpained, when the night calls?
I seize a moon
to enter the crack of dawn.
