Waking.

 

 

Waking.

 

In this most enlightened age
where hours flash by
the nearer I come to my final
breath the brighter sun
looks when it rises each day
and the fiercer tumble
beached waves of neap-tides
bleached more silver
than my sight recalls seeing.

Waking to glory- fresh view
morning in full spate,
purged and portraying allure
makes my urge keener
to grasp its airy  exultation.
I see anew a bluer
sky look longer at falling rain
and smile wider at roots
shouldering through to green.

 

Being alive is enough if Love
lights the day for while 
closer draws endings greater
the need to peer again
and hear how earth's music
accepts hard-won time,
alters worn keynotes to wait
for more beginnings,
re-charged for livelier tunes.

The most interesting thing about your poem is how each verse contributes to your overall topic of "waking" but it also feels like you're taking this meaning in different directions for each verse. V1 is like waking up as we age . . . V2 felt like waking up upon a morning . . . V3 felt like waking up due to love. This experience can be all these things rolled up in one, or it can be one of these & not the others. All in all, I do feel the invigorating sense of how it feels when something about life awakens one (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thanking you kindly dear Margie for such a logical review of Waking - yes one or all three could be deduced as appealing to different readers and waken new thinking maybe............. bless you and big Hugs backatcha my friend.

It would be virtually impossible to read this on a cold or rainy day and not feel revitalised .. likewise if miserable immediately on waking .. I suggest ya treat yourself to a quick read of these words... and give ya serotonin levels a boost ….
