morning

It’s morning
the language of the wind
     spirited

          almost animated
               in its brisk alacrity
speaks softly to me
as stars wave adieu
from pockets of night

My universe tilts
as the first rays of sun
kiss my neck
for a moment
life is transparent 
lies become truths
yearnings are fulfilled

Yes

      I feel life
this morning

captcha = realness....and that is what this poem is all about!

Ahh, the morning... it’s often revitalizing when you had a good rest from last night. This piece speaks of beauty in the early dawn, a feel good poem. It’s like your words embrace warmth from the early rise of the sun. It’s simply beautiful!

Thank you very much, Pax. Lydi**

The Chinese character for morning is 早. Note that the upper portion contains the radical for "sun" which is rising up the horizontal line. The entire character itself looks like a human figure with hands outstretched and ready to embrace a new day..... Zao an 早 安！ Good morning to you!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much for teaching me this. I don't know any Chinese, but thought this photo expressed what my words did....thanks for the validation. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

Somehow, I can now appreciate why my parents forced me to learn how to converse, read and write 5 languages. You can sort of see the cultural perspective of each country of origin.

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, it is wonderful. I speak three languages and I know it has helped me in life.

[Rita L. Sev]

This is so uplifting - a ray of sunshine in itself, Lydi. A new day, optimism, joy - yes!

as stars wave adieu
from pockets of night ... a beautiful image!

Thank you so much, Rita. Lydi**

maybe, like the picture with your poem, is worth a thousand words.... but to me your poem actually makes the picture come even more "alive".. a "I feel life" moment ; an, I greet the sun moment and for this morning, the sunny breeze of "alacrity" that can only happen when you dare to face it and realize that this was a gift of a wnderful poet named Lydi... yes, it is a "realness" (captcha and all) to savor and know that poetry is alive and well... "nice" Lydi, mind if I join you up on that roof.. wanna dance??? lol

[Lydia Shutter]

You are always welcome "up on the roof", Curt.....and as long as you don't step on my toes, we can dance the day away! :) Thank you for your wonderful review....it is so "nice". Have a great weekend. lydi**

Thank you so much, Emma. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

Early mornings are my favorite time of day - just as the sun is rising and all is quiet, all is new. You have captured that wonderful feeling in your gorgeous poem.

:) Julie

[Lydia Shutter]

Nothing like a walk on the beach in the early morning, is there? Thank you, Julie. Lydi**

[Joyce S. Greene]

A very upbeat attitude to start the day with, Lydi. I hope you go on feeling the life! I enjoyed this very much.

[Lydia Shutter]

It's the best way to be....optimistic and full of life. Thanks for the review, Joyce. I appreciate it. lydi**

[Sanober]

Oh lydi...such a gorgeously uplifting poem this is. That's the thing about morning...it sets everything right...doesn't matter if it's just for a moment. :) You capture the the freshness, warmth and vibrancy of the morning sun like no other, my friend. Loved this!!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Sanober. Always happy to see your reviews! Lydi**

This is delicate... and sensual... and somehow appetizing. The morning breeze is inspirational I may say.
The vocabulary you used here is perfectly harmonious and the imagery is just exquisitely beautiful.
"My universe tilts
as the first rays of sun
kiss my neck"...
-and if it is hard to start a refreshing morning, then here lingers the solution: "Read this piece of art"

[Lydia Shutter]

What a lovely thing to say, Omar. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[MAC]

there is such a southern eloquence to your writings in general and this piece is no exception. felt the honesty of the morning sun...perfect

[Lydia Shutter]

"southern eloquence"....why, bless your heart! :) While I have lived in South Florida for over 40 years, I grew up in New Jersey. Thanks for this great review, Mark. Lydi**
