a new SUNRISE

A new day is here…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the coming of a new sunrise

I will open up my azure eyes

And breathe in frosted air

That moves about so fresh and fair...

 

New light will flood my fragile mind

And boundless treasures I will find

Content with this no more

To be sealed inside my iron door...

 

Life is full of secret streams

That flow and feed our hungry dreams

To love will be my end

And living fierce for all my friends...

 

Those things the world has thrown at me

Will shatter weakly at my feet

And in the golden dawn

I’ll seize all hope and carry on...

 

Author's Note

I truly hope this is a fresh, new day for you as well...

A nice peice Craig and a great way to start the day.

BTW: The only one who never gets to see a sunrise is the Sun itself!

Hungry dreams n' secret streams n' "Those things the world has thrown at me/Will shatter weakly at my feet"....WOW! Powerful poetic stuff, Craig! N' I adore the "open up my azure eyes" line! ㋡

Nice. Very nice, especially the end.

This poem is so real for me momentarily. A new sunrise it is indeed, but your words make it seem less frightening and more hopeful thank you.

[Constance-Outspoken]

Carry on, indeed. Your soul always shines from within your words, and it's beautiful, as anyone can see. Another wonderful piece, this.

This is beautiful, Craig! Well written! I love the feel this poem has. Its very inspiring... It almost makes you feel as though after reading it you want to start a brand new fresh day and do everything better than you have before. I love the last stanza...

Those things the world has thrown at me
Will shatter weakly at my feet
And in the golden dawn
I’ll seize all hope and carry on...

Wow. And you chose a great picture for this too. Very well done! Definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm upset that I've seen you around and hadn't bothered to read your work until now :)
