dawn creates itself
fine light fingering
color into sky. the spin
on this axis assures
it is always dawn,
slipping past the reach of our eyes
& we, shaped of dust & spit
call it beginning,
this rise
as we see it
happening eternally
somewhere
Really like this one!
oh, thank you!
You are so prolific -you are like the inventor of words!
oh my, Julie–what I invent is not always good 😉
You are so sweet!
oh I like it…
& we, shaped of dust & spit
call it beginning,
very nice 😉
Thank you Doris! I changed this right as you were reading 😉
That is the blessing and the curse of participating in a daily poetry challenge…needed a little tightening up.
still beautiful ;), I know what you mean I do not know if I could do it, but I think any challenge is a lesson specially in writing
it certainly is! Thanks for reading (and rereading…)
As an artist, ‘fine light fingering color into the sky’ made me smile. Well worded! ♥
Thanks so much!
Beautiful words !!!
Thank you!
Wonderful poem
oh, thanks so much! Glad you liked.
Susan, this is really beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. A wonderful way to mark the beginning of our poetry celebration. 😀
Lena–thank you so much for liking this!
Susan, this is lovely. I like the thoughts you present. I was thinking along similar lines, but didn’t pull it off as well as you.
Richard
Oh, Richard, thank you!
Rolling dawn. Ride the wave!
🙂 yep!
you sing it so well, this marvel at the never ending movement of the earth. It will tomorrow here in Dar when the first debate takes place today in Eden!
Ahhh–the debates! Mitt is polishing his “zingers” and BO is still at “debate camp” I believe…should be a good show and I should make popcorn for it! It just struck me that except at the poles, that sun is always rising/setting somewhere! Took me 46 years to think of that–I must be slow!
This is beautiful, Susan, but I don’t know why I felt some sadness tug at my heart when reading it. 🙂
Hmmm–to me it has kind of an Ecclesiastes;feel to it. Maybe you are picking up on that. Thank you for finding it beautiful!
