Walking into the sunrise

Early, this morning, while everyone was sleeping

I took a stroll off the beaten track

Where cars and rat-race victims rarely go

I waited for the sun to rise

I listened to the birds

I could see that they’re waiting too

And once those first golden beams came forth

Their song exploded, in glorious praise

For the heat of life is back

And the cold of night is gone

That’s when I found a brand new footpath

And walked into

The sunshine of new life.

The path is too mesmerising...and here is my fave view described...sunrise...I wait the whole midnight sometimes...Just to witness that golden ray!

This is a pleasant uplifting poem at the start of my day. I could imagine you taking that walk and listening to the birdsong. Your posted image an added bonus. Thank you SleeplessVolcano. Another new day starts.

Sitting and listening to birdsong uplifts the soul....though what is even more amazing is starting to distinguish the song of one bird from another....lol...more than 60 different types here, so I need my listening ears on each day.....alternatively, a little bit easier, is to discover new trees along the path....fortunately for me, a tree lover already posted their names, so that is a bonus....one is never too old to learn, right? :)

Absolutely. I am also a tree lover and a lover of birdsong.
