Intake.
As division trembles on time's very edge we
sit on bent grass and wind-dried heather
tracing the breaking of dawn.
Like eyes each disc of light assails in-coming
shoreline to scatter blackness as tide
sighting morning gilds its form.
Pulsating with power day bursts forth with
oceans of jewelled diamanté-darts
coating each breaker in glitter.
What awesome intake this token cliff-top
display of unbroken performance as
sunbeams complete dawn's finish.

Thanks Orchi.
ANGELA HERE - Good afternoon FAY ! Love your Nature Poems and for us in an Indian Summer on Sunny (30C) Essex the DAWNS have been breathtaking !
We are Early Risers - 6:30am - so the beauty of Dawn is still filling the Skywith a *Bright New Day* AMEN
This is the Day that the LORD has made
Let US rejoice & be glad in It !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey ! ! !
Yes the sunrise can be an amazing event filled with potential - am glad to hear you are early risers dear duo -- thanking you muchly for your positive comment on Intake.
... There ain’t nothin can compare with the Kernow coastline ... certainly not when shared with a lover pre, post or peri dawn ....
...Penned to perfection Fay ... 😎
Agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments on Kernow dawns mon ami - - and shared with somebody special t'would be twice as enticing to rise early and watch break of morn together - - - well we can dream.......... x
Beautiful poem and image!
Many thanks for dropping be for a read of Intake R.B. - so pleased you enjoyed the poem.
Now if I'm not mistaken that picture is taken from Lands End looking westwards where you'd be treated to a lovely sunset but.......
Your words bring to mind what magic there must be in witnessing the dawn over a seascape and being able to see its effect upon adjacent coast. I shall have to plot a course for a place where i could watch this display one fine day.
Yes dawn over a seascape cannot be missed dear friend - - the magic of first light-rays on water is worth rising early for and I shall save you a virtual place to watch the change - - thanks for your visit and comment on Intake D.A. - - - always much appreciated.
Beautiful imagery as always
Another fabulous sunrise Fay, thatn you.
Andy
the loving way you write of Dawn so often makes me think you must have been Tithonus in a past life...
