Seen.
Oh unperceived day
I feel rather than see
your take-over glimmer
of star-fading notion
to invade darkness
when night hours passed
horizon hardens
and pallor creeps over
the dome of blackness.
Shadows begin
as dawn stretches limbs
towards east then
far out to sea ray-skeins
of grey gilt appear
as morning makes war
on receding dark
then breeze sings duets
with the trilling
of flying skylarks at play.
Coastline takes
shape when pale disc of
sun swims in
with vaporous mist, stirs
silver stains that
top mirror of neep-tide
and as I perceive
smouldering day caught
within jewelled
blaze I stop and bow low
to its seen glory.

I see it's another good write Fay.
Am glad you liked the read dear Orchi.
The rising Sun in all of its glory. A wonderful poem to start my day. Loved it. - Phil A
I guessed you would enjoy the read of dawn and how it breaks so wonderfully Phil -- enjoy the remains of your day dear friend.
The poem captures the sense of wonder and awe that we often feel when we stop to appreciate the world around us.
Yea dear poet-friend it was my intention to write a tribute to the awe we all feel on seeing the changes when morning first breaks - - so pleased you enjoyed the read.

You have expressed all you need just by being here dear amigo - - - loads of thank yous for the smiley face and for the x.....................x
You strike at the heart of my favorite time of the day. There is often somthing other worldly about daybreak that you have captured here so beautifully.
Ah - so pleased you got the feel of break-of-day magic from the read dear Bella and thank you loads for your visit and comment.
Each new day we arise is so wonderful Fay, as are your words.
