Rises With The Sun

( Day 7 of lockdown)

sleep filled eyes wake to warmth of

rose pink glow from ceiling to walls

.

old sol is doing his best to create

enticing hues to welcome new day

.

views from an angled window on 

third floor finds skyscape of wonder

.

beyond garden boundaries ripe

strawberry sorbet melds to lilac

.

subdued baby blues embrace

splashes of bold molten gold leaf

.

heart enchanted, gift of sight prized

contentment and blessings realised

Damn...that strawberry sorbet and lilac line made me hungry and this piece made me hungry for more than just food. What a wonderful moment, we have to snatch them out of the air when we can, enjoying the miracles that are given to us every day like sight and the ability to fall in love with a sunny Sunday morning.Yay..this was amazing.

How enchanting the first rays of the sun, that hint of golden promise from beneath the chink of a blind tightly drawn shut! Your words paint it beautifully for me. But the best thing is the child-like wonder that I sense and a gratefulness for life each day! Always so wonderful to read you Ms. Chris....

[Chris Shaw]

In these days of lockdown AJ, a beautiful sunrise is a gift to cherish. I love looking at skyscapes with their wonderful colours and interesting shapes. So lovely to waken to that rose glow in the room. This morning it is pouring with rain, and the window pane is taking a battering:) We have to make the most of the good times. All the very best to you and thank you for your visit.

The beauty of a garden in full bloom, framed by a sky filled with color. You manage to capture it all in your poetry.
Take care - Dave

lovely poetry. being a gardener I like looking at the birds come in for a bath in the garden hearing the blackbirds sing. My favourite time looking out windows is in winter when its raining funny enough. You and Pat have very similar imagery on display.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Andrew for your response. I am a great fan of Pat's poetry, so take that as a great compliment. Appreciate your visit.

When doing stopped being done, some found wonder in their surroundings whilst looking for something to relieve the boredom, but some already knew it was there and used enforced imprisonment as an excuse to just watch and wait, reflect, ponder and peruse all manner of thoughts that wouldn’t have been thought of not for knowing the pleasures of our surroundings that get us in the right mood to start a day.
Let them return to their wall sized tv and celebrity X factor big brother island. I’ll just carry on watching the best show on earth, from my kitchen window.
As ever Chris, nail...head...bullseye 😂

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Lorry. Yes I would rather be in the garden or gazing out of the window. Rarely watch TV and never reality shows. You know a couple of days ago though, I did binge watch 'Life' on catch up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Him indoors even watched it too, which is unheard of. I think we are all biding our time as best we can until we get back to some normality. Nothing like waking up to the sun pouring through your windows. We aren't overlooked so I don't close the curtains. That way I can watch the stars and welcome the sunrise. Now that is my cup of tea. Thank you for dropping by.

I can't stop marvelling at the beauty of this message and the blessings we forget to count every day! Vision! All the glorious colors and hues! All that lovely light! What else does one need. No lockdown can rob us of these!

[Chris Shaw]

Yes Ditzy, you hit the nail on the head. Sight is something to be valued. I appreciate so much what we are able to see, even from the confines of our own home and garden. The rich colours at dawn will always be a wonder on a good sunrise day. Thank you fir checking in, treats for my fav Kat........

Sends a hug ! 💕

[Chris Shaw]

You are one warm and cuddly cat. Our Myron, I may have told you before, kisses and licks my hand one minute and then draws blood the next. And at the speed of lightning :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Awwww.....I'll talk to Myron when I visit! Kitties are like that sometimes but they don't really mean it. You're loved by all kitties worldwide dear Chris 💕

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Dave for dropping by. We have to appreciate what we've got, while we've got it. Never tire of a decent sunrise. Each one is different.
