Intake

Fay Slimm.

 

 

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 stars
sighting morning gild its form.

Pulsating with power day bursts forth with
oceans of jewelled diamanté darting
to coat each breaker in glitter.

What awesome intake this token cliff-top
display of unbroken performance as
sunrise completes dawn's finish.

      The dawn watch! A wonderful experience in moderation filled with memory and lasting promise, the power of the day and the cycling of time. Glad to be here at this weekend's airing.

      • Fay Slimm.

        So glad you were with it in spirit my friend. A wondrous time to be watching is when dawn breaks.

        Lovely writing Fay especially like these lines

        oceans of jewelled diamanté darting
        to coat each breaker in glitter

          I am so pleased you highlighted those two lines dear Violet - - I hoped they would give the feeling of waves glittering in the first light.

            really like the last line dear Fay
            brings into context
            the overwhelming experience of waiting, for
            then witnessing the gradual sunset/sunrise
            experience
            before it actually begins, like
            a behind the scenes of nature's preshow highlights..
            yet another memorably vivid read, thank you!
