Just as The Sun was Rising

Teddy.15

 

In a world that leaves me feeling deflated and disappointed

I refuse to believe that this is my lot in life

 

sometimes I close my eyes

imagining my very own imagery

 

I can see the sunflowers smiling in the meadows

streaming with light

in that one crucial moment

when the sun finally beams onto their sleeping faces 

waking them with a start every time

 

and the magnificent orchestra of birds singing their daily opera

reminding me i'm alive 

 

and the very moment

the sun beams

reach the terracotta roof of the villa perched on the hill

almost as if it was protected by a warm glow  

 

clouds moving fiercely

to the side 

leaving fresh air to breathe

lavender perfuming the sky for all to savor     

 

in a world that leaves me feeling

deflated and disappointed

I refuse to believe that this is my lot in life

 

I close my eyes and I imagine

 

I see, once again 

the great deer, visit me in my back yard 

 

just as he used too, many moons ago

 

Just as the sun was rising.

        Another lovely poem. Some great imagery there. A really great poem, quite sad and reflective, yet uplifting at the same time.

        • Teddy.15

          Well poetry if nothing else should bring the reader emotion so I am most pleased you could feel it, yes sad as we don't take care of our beautiful planet and I wonder why. Uplifting well I had to bring you back up lol 😉 thank you dear Tom for your kind and very honest words.
