Outing.

Fay Slimm.

Outing.

 

From the first finger of misty light 
fresh rays from
day's entrance shatter black chains

imperceptibly.

Breeze stirs dark dregs to a finish 
as streaks of
summer beget break of new dawn

immaculately

An unsullied azure clearly displays 
mystic zeal 
by brushing up bits of stray grey

imposingly.

Sleep flits away to give day space 
and furthers
my aim to unearth fresh challenge

impartially.

Caught in night's shawl is no place
to be when 
sun's call entices taste for outing 

immediately.

  • dusk arising

    Gone! those youthful days of stay in bed and grow.
    Nowadays it's up at the first hint of birds yawning in readiness for that resounding dawn chorus.

    Again you capture the dawn for us with a new angle. Beware of too much 'unsullied azure' this bank holiday though.

      Your comments are most appreciated D.A, and this is no exception - - - a poem in itself if I may say and lovely to read. Thank you.

              • Suresh

                As we, humans, are the creatures of the light, light is thus our security blanket, and that we seek to pierce our fears away, and very few poems have welcomed dawn as yours.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Am lost for words to thank you enough for this wonderful comment Suresh....... feeling honoured and humbled too.
