Sunrise
glows rosy,
peeking
through windows
stirring
my thoughts so
awash
with promise.
A dove
sings wooo-wooo,
morning
has broken,
a new
day awaits.
Happy Earth Day!

Beautiful photo and sentiment, Talya. Love the lone mourning dove in the tree and your simple, heartfelt poem.
Cattitude and Gratitude
Thank you!
That is a BEAUTIFUL photo, and beautiful words to match!
Thank you Megan. I took the photo about a month ago at my mom’s house (where I grew up) in Arkansas. If you look closely, you can see bird poop on the screen:))
What a brilliant way to start the week, Talya. Loved it!
As I was reading it, I thought of that other song, “Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy….” John Denver, I think.
Yes, John Denver. Thanks Corinne.
I have always loved that song. Was it written by Kris Kristofferson? His name just came to mind when I listened to the song.Loved the poem also. That is one of our pecan trees in the picture, right? Lots of fond memories come flooding back when I see the pictures you made last year on the farm.
It was written in the 1930’s as a Christian hymn then made popular by Cat Stevens in the 1970’s. It was the first song Mrs. Brasfield had us sing in choir at Rivercrest. I was hooked from that first day. I don’t know if Kris Kristofferson ever sang it or not. This is the tree in front of the dining room window.
Beautiful sunrise and poem! Isn’t that just the perfect time of day?
A month of Blog…

What a beautiful sunrise photo, and I enjoyed your lovely poem. Thank you for your visit to my blog. you said you wanted to cook in my kitchen. You are welcome to come cook in my kitchen any time, as long as we get to eat what you cook! laurie
Beautiful! I’m never up early enough to see the sunrise, so I appreciate this!
I’ve seen the sunrise many times, and it wasn’t from getting up early…it was mostly from staying up too late which actually when you think about it, it’s really early…in the morning, that is…so before I confuse myself anymore, I’ll just super awesome job on the poem, and great choice for the letter “S.” I actually thought you might use “S” for Superman and how much your husband, John, looks like the Man of Steel.=)…Sorry, but I don’t care much for Alec Baldwin…and Yes, he does look like Superman!=)
Love that Cat Stevens song!
Beautiful Work, both picture and poem. I loved Morning Has Broken, too. I’ll probably sing or hum it all day now, but that will be good!
Thanks Dorothy!
Beautiful picture and wonderful poetry to go with it.
Awesome!
Love that picture. I wish I had more time to watch the sunrise in the mornings. Hopefully this summer.
