The day

wordle6



Time pulls nature's edge, demands life listens,
as through night's door rises day, and dawn's dye
spikes in bright, sharp line at window's waiting edge;
that crunch of light which nests like frost at dawn.


So does the hour throw fresh-born spirit strong,
escape from darkness surely gauranteed, as minutes
fall with joy, awake to morning's freshened feeling;
dreams heady years slept little, yet still speak.

Green shapes of leaves, like pebbles on day's beach,
or number strewn across eternity, are drawn again;
do spell in vision clear their vital presence, as blown
by wind through trees, like ocean's word they breathe.

Shining skin of image is returned, restored to sight,
blackness now dispelled by light and sun on fire,
does spark in distant realms; nothing hidden now,
for all does wing in perfect flight, for every eye.

The nose of evening still does sniff in patient waiting,
listens for the sweet voice when afternoon does call,
knowing that while Moon has limped, forlorn away,
the hours will turn, the clock will strike, the light will fall.

  2. I like how you personified time, day, night, moon - cyclical.
    The light will fall...bringing newness every time.

  6. This has a very lilting and lyrical quality to it. Once again, you weave a gorgeous poem out of the words, and manage to use all of them. I don't know how you do it! I tried and fell a few short of using all of them this time.
