This Day
What dawn is this that gladly
forwards itself into my hand ?
What gem of shimmering haze
sequins and studs this fine day
and speeds me with whispering
promise of unfettered glimpses
of murmuring sea with plated
surface of silver-lapped waves.
What blush of heron's-egg blue
sky could better raise my mood.
So how could a dreamer like me
fail to be lifted by this day's free
mystical mixtures of milky-soft
intriguing gifts from the coffers
of Nature who arranges a calm
waking to bathe minds in balm
of simplicity on this quiet beach
where her inviting peace heals.
What morning this that assigns
to me the value of heard silence.

Stop boasting, Fay - I'm getting very envious....... 😊
A standout example of structure and controlled form - I hesitate to ask, but how much effort did that take?
Great stuff.
Hello Dave - big thank you for your visit and read of This Day - - I seem to be able fairly easy to envision the wording when it comes to describing Nature and what it means to me - but it takes best part of a day to get it down on the page. Real glad you enjoyed it .
'intriguing gifts from the coffers

of simplicity'..
Brilliant!
(Nature's, gifts of serenity
unfurled in vivid, ink
by your majestic Poetry
dear Fay)
Ah - your reviews dear L.B. are poems themselves and am so grateful to receive your thoughts on my work . Thanking you dearly my friend.
I know I must read like a stuck record must sound, but when it comes to poetry, they just don't get much better than this ... x

You will never "read like the sound of a stuck record " to me my generous ami - - cant wait for your summary and would sorely miss the uplift or learning curve of your special thoughts - --nuff sed so bless eee me ansum an thankin' eee muchly.................x
