It Is Morning

In the beginning there is nothing,

as creation has not had it’s wake.

We rise before the crisp of dew, greatfully,

before our feet have a chance to plunge into the dampness,

the grass is still dry.

 

His hand within mine is snug,

fitting as though pieces of a puzzle.

The length of the road is not far in the darkness,

At each bend we look up at the unfolding dawn.

Soon.

 

The warmth absconds upon us.

The sun and the Earth marry, as we sit,

watching the mist roll by.

Bountifully it transpires against the ocean, drenching the soil,

blessing each sprout of youthful creation.

We deem it too premature for passion,

no need for expression, we remain,

inaudible,

against the artwork of the rising day.

Enjoyed this poem.Really liked the fushion of the certainty of weather with the uncertaties of love.Nice job.

Ha. I won't give you cheap words, but I will tell you this. This is pretty good! I looked at all the new writing, and I thought yours would be better, and I'm right!

But I'm not repressed nor defanged. One day I'll tell you one of the awful jokes I know.

Oh! I'm supposed to talk about writing here! So this, I like how it looks on paper, that is one thing I'm big on. Also, this reminds me of warmer weather. And heck, it's cold here! Great work :)

and it is a moment to savor---you, the poet, capture it and frame it...
there is much contentment in that beautiful nothing before the sun meets the earth....in second line i read "its wake"--

really like how you used "absconds" such a good word, not given attention often enough.

Well done my fellow wordsmith! I especially love the scene this creates in the mind...(The sun and the Earth marry, as we sit, watching the mist roll by.) Beautiful! ~Sharon
