    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Good Morning

    A dim light begins as fingertip streaks in the sky above me.
    The sun peaks one eye over the edge of the horizon.
    Satisfied,
    She begins her climb upward to the heavens
    Now water-colored in shades of blues and pinks.
    The air is still as the Earth awaits the Sun's arrival.
    She shines majestically from her perch,
    Caressing all with her warmth and goodwill.

    ***

    The sleepy forest comes alive with sound.
    Creatures,
    Large and small,
    Are busy with the tasks of the day.
    A soft wind filters through the leaves,
    Drying the morning dew,
    Assisting the trees in their daily coiffure.
    The Sun's smile makes its way between the boughs,
    Leaving shadowy patterns that dance
    On the moss covered forest floor.
    All make ready to greet the new day.

    Nice prose. Maybe you should write stories. Very discriptive wording. Papa

    I love this little piece... So easy to read this and jump into the sights and sounds of it all happening each day, the only subtle difference being, what weather is everyone waking up to... Can be a totally different aspect to this, but you described this particular day, very very well... Great write....

    Days and night will replace each other without fail, but a good morning will make the day. I like the artistry of nature in this special piece of yours. Indeed, your delicate choice of words and how you arrange it impressed me so much. I have not tried any piece like this one. Your poem, a beautiful art in itself is so relaxing and refreshing. I hope I can match the fertility of your poetic mind.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
