Brand New Day

This is an original poem I penned in 1976.
The skies are lightening.
Darkness passes on and
Daylight slowly creeps in.
Dawn…
The most peaceful time
Of day.
All of Nature is quietly
Resting
Preparing for a new day.
While watching time move on,
The earth comes alive.
Morning flowers open up, stretching
Their arms and lifting their
Faces to the slowly rising sun.
Life.
Birds start chirping.
Animals begin to scamper about
Collecting food for the young
Ones.
Good morning.
It’s a brand new day.

Very nice. Morning is my favorite time of the day for exactly the reasons you wrote so beautifully about.
I am pleased to read one of your poems Sha. You are a great warrior for Mother Nature and you did a good job with this. I always look forward to the dawning of a brand new day . Voted up
Sorry to say I've been a failure in life and I am in financial debt so my next move will be back to the city where I work and into a crummy bachelor apartment and it's probably one of the reasons I suffer from situational depression.
Well it's always a brand new day Shauna when I get to hang out with you.
And this lovely poetic ode to dawn and a brand new day has a lot of meaning for me because I love watching the daybreak and then the sun come up over the lake and it's one of those life affirming moments which seems different everyday I get to see it.
Well, lol, I missed it today because I went to bed before the dawn after night shift but I also love in the summer the magic hour or the mellow time as I call it in the late evening before dark which is between 8pm and 9pm - I guess you can call me an impressionist and you always make an impression on me Shauna.
Have an awesome afternoon and evening.
Sending you 3 big Canadian hugs from Colin, Tiffy and Gabriel

Faces to the slowly rising sun."

Beautiful visuals provided so well by your words. The only thing missing was the dew drying off of my jacket as I was there enjoying the event!
Bravo, brave one! Great Job!
bravewarrior, What you have shared is of the greatest gifts the Lord has provided for his own, and of the good earth. Thank you in this generosity.
