Time's Needle.
Stretching and shouldering night away a sun crouches
to birth black's ousting
by one more empty circle of dark's hollowed pouches
then outs in sparkling showers.
Spangled with myriad star-labour unfolding membranes,
like numberless leaves
dreamers listen to soft serenades as the universe favours
lullaby-sighs of deep breathing.
Silvered surface shivers with night-eyes as glittery dust
follows with dart-swift
flight each soul's winged journey while murmuring deep
mysteries to those sleeping still.
Glimmers on sightless horizon reveal light's celebration
while untrodden dew
newly writhing in close-capped life waits inertia's frame
stirring to shake before rising.
Piercing the brain time's needle regathers worn threads
and remembers that more
sown seed means now-grown grain needs re-collection
in daylight's mind-aware storage.
Open-eyed, naught is over as hinging on less or more,
sun, with slumber done,
now hurries to open the thin partition between yawns
of torpidity for more hours won.

and as so as the dream keeper finishes up ...wide awake! very nice Fay. ww
Another racking piece Fay.
You awaken in the morning in a more gentile manner than I. This is just lovely.
The majesty of the morning Sun. Chasing the darkness and spreading light upon the earth. All cycles of life respond in unison to the birth of a new day. Words well chosen and a glorious topic make for great poetry. Well done. - Phil A.
Warm thanks Phil. - really appreciate your comments on my effort with words.
A sun crouches to one more empty circle of dark's hollowed pouches . What an amazing expression this is really that scribbles mind of a reader. Glimmers on sightless horizon reveal light's celebration and this celebration pierces through mind's expression. This is very interesting poem and excellent with nice imagery.
My thank to you Pintu for this well-thought-out comment - so pleased you enjoyed the read.
