The embrace of morning...

 

I walked until I saw

the last star of the night…

Chill air soft-stroking my cheeks

breathing out misted musings…

Houses sound asleep

sighing for daybreak…

I stopped and stared up

at the star waiting

as the sun-blushed sky

kissed the dawn

with cherry lips…

And I wished

oh not a subtle whisper

but a shouting entreaty

with a heart aching

for its homeplace…

There up in that winter sky

holding on to twilight

the star smiled

knew its job was done…

I puckered up my cold lips

and blew

and watched

as the last star

flickered

winked

and fell asleep

into the embrace

of morning…

awe, this is beautiful!! Kissing the star good night as it blinked out with the sun rise! Thanks for the view of the sunrise!! I'm a moonrise watcher and star gazer most nights of the year; sunrises for me are rare though I should witness more of them for I might see critters I miss by sleeping during the morning hours. Thanks for sharing your write!! Enjoyed it much!!

One of my favorite things is to get up early while everyone else is sleeping and walk. I'm sure I'll think of your images as I do it now. They're gorgeous images. Thank for writing such a lovely piece.

Reminds me of many nights at work when I take a break just to
sit outside after midnight and find the brightest star or speak to the moon.
The imagery here is perfectly tranquil. Nicely written.
