Love this Fay

Love the thought of reality \"hooking\" itself to a dreamstate as it ticks every second round my alarm clock

Thank you Great work today

Fay, if I had to choose between dawn and sunset, I would choose dawn, especially after reading your wonderful poem.

Let the essence and emotion of your words awaken me each morn...... rather that that bloody alarm clock!

To be honest i rarely catch the dawn. Lockdown has broken the hair spring of my body clock and sleep falls to me these days when so ever it feels the need but.....
.... oh to waken to such poetry as you ascribe today..... it seems a dream away...... perhaps upon my next waking..... maybe

\'Dawn hangs
on the trees, light slivers
floorward, slips
into sleep\'s acres, turns shade
to tailgates of force
over which rays, snipe
at quiescence
before sunrise, leaps in
to move bleary dreamers\'...
that first stanza is one of the best I have ever read - anywhere!
what a gift you choose to share dear Fay, thank you!
your choice to use \'quiescence\' is my interpretation of poetic genius!

Good write Fay.
We know some adverts are naff though. They wake to mornings that are always sunny; it never rains; it\'s never dark mornings; they go off smiling to work with no coat on, as they have had a good night\'s sleep in a luxury bed.
The ads must have been made in Summer! Doh!

Wen a white feather appears you know that an angel is there for you.

A feather. A singular thing of beauty no human hand could construct.

You refresh this cast off feather of creation with the beauty of your insightful verse. Once again you reintroduce us to the fine construct of purpose all around us. A feather once twirled in our childish hand, long forgotten, gains majesty.

The wonders of creation.

You have just reminded me of the wonder I felt when examining the first feather I ever came across as a kid, Fay. Comprehensive and fine. I note your marvel at raptors is still strong.

\'Extra-smooth tuftedness surrounding dense matter
gives thistledown lightness
of hooked strength to feathermass\'
beautifully worded, one can\'t help but drift between your lines and get a semblance of that feeling you are so eloquently depicting,
a great read dear Fay

Birthright

Joy is created a birthright so let
out hurts if happiness starts fading inside.... Mahabharata says - Joy is the result of good conduct... Buddha says, without tolerance, its impossible to achieve peace...

that transcendent element of love, much more than touch of skin, overcoming distance - beyond, even a graveyard\'s barriers,
yet still, that memory infused with a moments majesty, can evoke - years later, time-n-again: that same everlasting experience of wonderous connection, between one human and their chosen partner,
a wonderful depiction you\'ve chosen to share dear Fay, beautifully worded, as ever

\'Sodden ground tires of trying
to create new movement
while soil ferments in mud pools
and underness struggles to dry\'...
we must strive to remember
that, what we today selfishly/lazily depict as dotage, were part
of a generationally \'vibrant\' ray of hope
titled: \'swinging sixties\',
and as the \'sodden ground tires\'
so have \'some\' of them, maybe a window to understanding the bitterness
that twists \'Some\' of their blinkered actions
and a nod to ourselves
of the future that awaits,
if we don\'t learn
to stop investing so much
of ourselves in those hopeful
\'Spring\'s\' our futures \'must\' yield,
sometimes we just have to endure
our long Winter\'s
and find strength - enough
to still remain grateful
for each sipped breath
of our ephemeral lives...
a wonderful depiction of the gritty practicalities with our cyclical patterns of life dear Fay, forgive my lengthy scribbled reply

Oooooh Fay, I wondered where you were taking us when 2nd stanza got down and dirty.
Your poetic crocus of delight in harshness of winter encourages a look beyond in anticipation of the realisation of your final line here.
