Daybreak

Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself. - Thoreau

a heavy night dragging

i fall sleep on a pillow of dubiety

awakening to a dawn of profound revelation

my pillow as wet as the dew

tired remnants of faith opening crusted eyes

in betwixt demons kicked their restless feet and wrung their lying hands in a sinful dance of obscurity

morning always comes, ushering god's promise in irreversible maturity

shining an immutable light on truth's sanctity and purity

Author's Note

"The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes that slumbers all the rest of the day and night." - Thoreau

There might have been the least somnolence in the wee morning hours for Thoreau but he's never lived in this house. There is, in fact, much somnolence here in the mornings, only removed by the forceful ingestion of multiple hot black cups of caffeine. I'm all for getting things done by the light of day though, new promise, new adventures, new possibilities. I enjoyed the read.

i suspect that thoreau always new where to uncover a rainbow no matter the time. i wonder how much coffee he consumed. thank you kind, honest sir ... :)

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Thoreau didn't drink coffee or tea while at Walden. Those were "luxuries" to him. It might have been why he hoed his beans in such a bad light. ;)

alL quite true. he had to live lean at walden. i suspect he snuck away from time to time to indulge - that's why dunkin' donuts has drivethrus ... :

You describe the morning so very well, and some visions linger for a time. Well done my friend, well done.

[Pete]

When you are troubled the nights are long and the tears are many. I am of the opinion that a good cry can help a situation. Better out than in says I. Each new day, a new beginning. Happy Friday Pete.

i didn't realize i had published this. wasn't quite done. i've been through so much you wouldn't believe. there is only one anchor ushered by the new day as you remind ... :)

[Chris Shaw]

I got in quick. Actually, thought this review might not register as I saw the unpublished notice. You know Pete, you grow stronger because of all the crap you endure. It doesn't help knowing that at the time, but I am a firm believer in it. You look after yourself.

[Chris Shaw]

Read again with your alterations. Nice.
