Morning People

Morning People

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

People who rise early in the morning see things a bit differently .

"
       Morning People

        Morning people sit on the porch, sipping coffee, rubbing the sleep from their eyes.
     The peaking sun brings upon the day, soft shades of pink that  fade into endless colors of violets and
     blues.
 
      Morning people gaze upon the fog skirted trees as dancers upon a stage ready for the performance
      of the day.
     

      Morning people hear the sounds of dove in distant trees echo, and move across the city as a crowd
      would do the wave at a baseball game. Bluejays , Finches,and mockingbirds complete the musical
      unfolding around me.

      Morning people see ten week old kittens at play, chasing bugs in the yard,then begin to meow for
      mother, breakfast time i am sure.

      Morning people feel the presence of the Great Creator, and all his love , power , and guidance .

      Morning people watch other people sleep, and in my wife i see the peace, the love, the sweetness
      i adore. As she talks in her sleep i play along, oh the stories i could tell.

     I love being a Morning Person.

Very beautiful. The imagery is exquisite and you can picture the scenes in your head as they're happening, simply because the situations are very relatable.
You get a very peaceful feeling from this poem and it links in with the peacefulness of the morning. You see how many people and even some animals begin their day.
I loved it.

I wish I cld join you, sit and watch, have a coffee brought to me, and just talk, talk, talk. Then maybe read the paper and then saunter down to the beach for a swim. Noooooo rush, no sweat, no work!
