The Same Picture Frame

Poetic Licence

Same Picture Frame.

 

It is the break of another dawn.

A beautiful day has been born.

little light in my room is in sight.

In the ice blue lit morning sky.

 

As I waken up my ageing eyes.

I always ask the question why.

Can’t we freeze a place in time.

When everything feels so right.

 

The soft sound of the nature call.

I think what problems after all.

I drift off dreamily back to sleep.

While the world is still at peace.

 

When I slowly awaken up again.

Will I still see the picture frame.

When I look out my windowpane.

Or would the world of changed.

      Change the only constant. A most beautiful poem of how it happens not just over night but in the blink of an eye. Great metaphors used here and the wording is perfect for the mood.

                A lovely write Tobani. Has such an air of calm and peace about it. Dawn is a beautiful time of the day. My favourite quiet time. Have a beautiful Thursday.

                    Well done, Tobani! Thought-provoking, that makes me think of the old Heraclitus adage, "You cannot step into the same river twice". Change is always a reality...the only constant in a world of utter chaos. Wonderfully expressed. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

                            Each morning we awake takes us into a new good day as we are still here Tobani.

                              A very good poem that identifies routine and aging.

                                Wondering the same countless times, how winsomely you've rendered this age-old question which is the reason Mum and I used to pour over the old photos, seeming to relive what only lasted for mere minutes. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and an exquisite poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
