Communion With Dawn

 

In the stillness of the early morn
When nature shakes off the remnants of slumber
Leaves stretching, flowers opening
I sit quietly with my cup of tea in reflection.

Gazing at the first visages of dawn
As the sun lazily climbs into the heavens
Gradually dressing the day in a kaleidoscope of hues
Huddling a bit deeper into the quilt I have wrapped about me.

Oh quiet morn what blessing will you bestow today?
A gentle shower, a warm caress?
Or will passion shatter us from our doldrums,
Enveloping fury of an unleashed tempest.

Communion with nature, I tune into earths heartbeat
Thundering through my blood, rejuvenating my soul
I rise and salute you in prayer and thanksgiving
Calmer from the spiritual union of birthing a new day.

My first encounter with your work is an absolutely smashing delight!! Not only your mastery of words but the intricate and balanced measure of emotion and insight, meditative yet physical - the ethereal imagery of a "kaleidoscope of hues" juxtaposed with the physical sensation of 'huddling deeper' into the comfort of the quilt - this is exceptional.
I look forward to reading more of your work as time permits.
