The first morning light
Green and red rubbing shoulders
Pebbles and boulders

My coldness wakes me.
Trees blush in first light.
Curtains rustle with breeze.
Bird choir.
Coffee's waft.
Morning rewards.

Quince

In the time of quince
When its blossoms first appear
Early in the year
There's still frost upon the ground
With the first light of the dawn

Premium Member Dreams Cast About

       Dreams cast about
          as the moon climbs her rungs
        
        By the first light of dawn
           ~ yield to the sun

Tides enfold first light,
Golden hues seep through briny mist,
Daybreak murmurs rest,
Ebb and flow dance quietly,
Dawn's tender overture sung.

Premium Member Walking By Instinct

On awakening,
I’m this urban hub benign,
that first light stroller,
imbibing town air,
whose feet an echo’d purpose,
of self mould guide rail

First Light

across jade dew grass...
quick barefoot numbing stumbles  -
                      warm lips bid heart thaw

Diamonds Steals the Flesh of Men

First light shines, 
Upon this hill
We dig for 
Blood diamonds,
In copper mills
Diamonds, 
A girl’s best friend
Diamonds steals the
Flesh of men

Doorway

Soft echoes of night
whisper dark stories to me.
Mystery beckons.
First light pierces morning fog,
the world of dreams dissipates.

Dancing Fish

Out of the shadows
Into the night,
Under the moonlight gleaming
In graceful arcs,
Scales flashing in the light,
The ballet ends at dawn’s first light.

Skyline amber rays,

                                            emergent luster array.

                                             Polished aqua gleams.

Memory has a selective ring
    lets slip unpleasant things 

  Basks midst prism's colors, prelude to first light 
    discards unlit alleys, moon-less nights

Winter

Rising well before dawns first light,
Driving through tunnels of trees.
Bedecked with frost shining bright
I miss the sight of this winter frieze.

Just as you don't have to strain
to make the sun rise,
so your mind will obey without hesitation
your simple wish
to be only who and what you are.

Premium Member The Irresistible Slaw Dog

Should you awaken in the night in a fog,
Raid the frig, and have yourself a slaw dog!
It will generate sweet dreams during the night,
And you will sleep like a baby until first light.

At the First Light

Happy birthday, dear Marjorie, 
The new morn replaces the night; 
The dawn and beacon both agree, 
As you wake up at the first light.

first light rain -

slippery is the path 

of fragile love
