Sunrise
June 16, 2007 by Shirley Allard
The sun arrives
to melt the shade
and gather
morning dew.
A single drop
cascading
like a teardrop
overdue.
Simmering
in morning light
the remnants of
a thirsty night
admit defeat
and disappear
from view.


See THIS is a beautiful description of nature, the sunrise we breathe in each morning. Better than the photo I was trying to find…Ali
Thank you Alison. I think that’s what a poet is…we paint pictures with words…Shirley
and you, my dear, have a beautiful stroke
I like this, Shirley…soft and gentle.
Hey guys,
you’re overwhelming me with comments. Overwhelm away! And thank you all! I needed some extra encouragement today. –Shirley
