AM SUNSHINE
The sunshine of the afternoon
is not the same as
the sun of the morn'
A golden hue lays gently
across the mountain top
Glowing green and bright
as if to say,
"GOOD DAY!"
Just after the early morning
mist dissipates
As the soft dew
ever so carefully
caresses the grass & flowers
Glistening....
The whole world
Shines bright
as if our sleepless God
raised His head from
His pillow,
Spread His arms out wide ,wider, widest,
and yawned with a big grin,
opened His twinkling eyes,
and exhaled.
A new Love for a new day.
Each shining breath better than those
that have come before
Brighter, bolder, closer....
There is a stillness
among the silent noise of
the glowing trees,the
scattered dew, and
the beaming buds...
A time of quiet inspiration
that desperately wants to be
seen....
to be found.
Aww......
To arrive in the
golden glow of a new day.

I love this! Very different from what you usually do. Nice to see your soft side too. Here's a tip for you: save the editorial comment about how you prefer the early morn as a verbal preface or afterword to the poem. Do you best to let the poem speak that sentiment FOR you. What you did here was show us (which was great!) then tell us (which we don't need). One of the hardest things when you are just starting out as a writer is remember the reader is really smart. Trust them. They like to be left with something to chew on. Does that help?
Thanks so much for your support and prayers for my father. It means A LOT. xxoo
