A Page Is Turned, Another Morn

from bleakest night comes brightest day

when rays of sun break through at dawn

when song birds stir the saddest hearts

a page is turned another morn

dear Gaia i am full of praise

for you who soothes each weary soul

for you who toils to ease where life

has left the spirit less than whole

inspire in all a sense of calm

apply with love your healing balm

“from bleakest night comes brightest day
when rays of sun break through at dawn”
Beautifully penned lines dearest Chris. Your words float upon the day as a graceful prayer to Gaia, an extolling of her comfort to man, each morning renewed. Great message, imagery, metaphor, rhyme, cadence, alliteration… Master Class write my friend!

Your review is warming on another really cold day here Annette. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your encouraging words.

Life is cruel and generous in turn. Sad days come and go. We heal with gratefulness and move on with our loved ones. Its written, "This too shall pass" and I am a great believer of the Word. You're keeping the faith beautifully. I loved this uplifting poem, dear Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

I see my first review of this piece disappeared.

we need the saddest hearts stirred..we need Gaia's calming influence....now more than ever.

as the Moody Blues sang..."sun is still shining, look at the view. Moon is still dining with me and you. Now that we're out here open your hearts"

I love the Moody Blues Jacob. They transport me to another era altogether. Back to a time when all was rosy in the garden. Good to have your continued support my friend and a big thank you for your review.

A lovely poetic prayer of thanx to our Mother Earth, dear Chris. No matter how awful our daily lives may become, our Earth Mother will always soothe us with the dawning of a new day, where hope and new possibilities are in abundance. As always, your rhyme and flowing poesy is soothing and makes for a wonderful, calming read. May more bright days dawn on your horizon! :))

Excellent example of blank verse here. It is a hopeful, comforting offering that assures us that in our lives, though they be bleak at times, dawn ever comes.

Morning light from Earth Goddess Gaia is a promise that
the day will be woven into colors that blend with healing...
we thank her for her love... tenderly, Pat

We do thank her for her love and healing. She is a reminder that darkness doesn't last. It is temporary. Many thank yous dear Pat for your visits and what you do to keep us all uplifted. You and your poems are a blessing to us.

Gaia and Helios both making their influence more felt each day as the magic of Spring waits just around the corner

[Chris Shaw]

It is just around the corner Dave. I keep telling myself that. The bulbs in the garden are making an appearance and I have pink hyacinths on my deck table. Within a month that table will be bursting with colour and life. Thank you for checking in with me.
