Intake.

 

 

Intake.

On time's very edge change trembles discreetly 
while silent I trace from midnight wait
 the welcome breaking of dawn.

Like haloed eyes light-discs assail horizon
and scatter black patches as tide's shift,
sighting sunrise gilds its form.

 

Pulsating with force day bursts its aurora 
as jeweled flashes on ocean's face
coats breakers in scintilla.

Such awesome intake this token on cliff-top
of unbroken performance as beams
rush to complete dawn's finish.

I find your use of the word "intake" to be inventive & original. I never thought about how I'm intaking all this beauty around me, like sustenance. Your writing is filled with powerful descriptions & dynamic verbs, conjuring the sensations of a tumultuous ocean. For me, this kind of "intake" beats the kind sitting around an over-stuffed holiday meal! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

I agree most fervently dear Margie - so much intake around and about us that nature's feast is enough for me - -- thanking you ever so for your visit and oh so generous review. Hugs galore. Fay
