Surrender

Fay Slimm.

 

Surrender.

 

Oh what bubble-wrapped film 

covers this dawning

where creeping sunlight shafts 

away shadows and    

lawn-blades drip vapour as  

breeze scatters Spring

on earth's verdant surrender.

 

What glory throbs as avian 

chorus of offerings 

falls trilling from tree-tops 

onto new morning

of dewy-wet plenty as day 

softens dark's edges.

 

If air could be measured for

clarity, scaled and

weighed for virginal glisten

it has to be now as

first rays make an entrance.

  • dusk arising

    There's something special in the air as the day dawns. Photographers want the early morning light for its clarity. Romantic poets want the dawns air for its renewal of our faith in the majesty of creation.

    Beautiful poetic images and birdsong on this chill morning.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Yes early mornings have long had my attention as words coil around such an outlay of beauty when day begins making dark into light. So glad you enjoyed the read dear Dusk.

          I knew you would like this little tribute to wonderful nature dear Andy. Thanking you so very kindly for all your support.

          It's no 'surrender' (in the sense of giving up hopelessly) for me to say this is a fine poem Fay!

          • Fay Slimm.

            Am so pleased you surrendered your thoughts in this lovely comment and thank you sincerely dear Orchi.

              I did not surrender my singing, though they tortured me to do so! I continued singing, and tortured THEM! lol.

              Fantastic lines making dawn appear right in front of me.

              • Fay Slimm.

                And that really delights my heart Roz when the piece shifts readers to see the scene my words tried to depict - -- so pleased you enjoyed Surrender.

                perfectly depicted in all its glory .. surely no one tires of the beauty displayed at the very break of each new day ......... superbly poemed as always ............................. Neville x

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Ah - agreed Nev, - -how could we tire of such dazzling changes as dawn breaks - -- oodles of thank yous for saying so though mon cher ami..........x
