LET US......
Come. let us leave sleep and put on the morning.
Waken to first trembling birth of the day.
Listen as mist gives way to symphonic new scales
stirring dawns's fragile music.
Watch as dome's blue widens its azure-blue maw.
Note how warmth cracks open buds' sticky coatings
of dew-soaked velvet
then applaud as night's jacket of cold disappears.
Let us imagine the tune nature hums when golden
rays voice another day's beams.
Nod in agreement as chill is de-frocked and hours
of restless dreaming forgotten.
.
Run with the nectar of virgin haste when sunglow
races new joys to prepare.
Dress in excitement's changes and learn morning's
story written on earlyness.
Let us produce smiles of welcome to cleansed air.
Drink all the freshly-pressed juices
of day as blaze melts shadows of night's outflow.
Using light's glory let awe dance,
come throw off blind nocturnal attire and adorn
life by putting on morning.

A fine morning, and all-day write Fay. it started me off with the hymn: 'Come let us join our cheerful songs'.
And yet, in churches with ye olde language, there is a line: 'The burden of our sins are intolerable to us'. So is my singing to some! heehee.
Yes a fine morning can make us feel life singing my friend -- thank you for the comment and pleased that you liked the read.
Yes Fay - I am all for "unfrocking the chill"............ we're getting there!
I get over-indulgent with my personifications and metaphor dear Lorna but so pleased you picked up on the phrase I thought apt - - hurry on Spring eh so we can see better mornings. Thanks for the lovely comment.

CARPE DIEM ~ SEIZE THE DAY !
Thanks FAY for another beautiful Poem which parallels our awakening (to face a New Day) and Nature's daily awakening !
HUMAN AWAKENING ~ We leave sleep ~ listen & watch and appreciate the Day warming up ! We wash & dress and enjoy "fresh pressed orange juice !" and then ~ PUT ON THE MORNING !
NATURE ~ The dawn light dawns and Spring buds are opening ~ the air temperature starts to rise ~ rays of Sun & buzz of bees ~ the wind purifies the air ~ MORNING HAS BROKEN ! Let us rejoice in every NEW DAY ~ AMEN Yours as ever BRIAN !
Yes mornings in every season give us reasons to rejoice in new days Brian - your visits and comments are always welcome and am delighted you enjoyed the read.
Morning is so wonderful to put on each day Fay. Great poem.
