First morning light, to me, develops and enhances
Rationing the soul, as well as the mind
Thoughtful heightened electrical energy
Standing up vivid, for what it believes

I place morning in my nap sack
Excited and elated to share, skipping off to work
Wanting to share….
Storing atmospheric currents and sensitive perceptions
Not always knowing what to make of it all?
As lively openness & perceptions lead me deep
Into the downfalls of society
I suppose they find me amusing,
In an theoretical sort of way…
I’m a Van Gogh painting not yet born

Some delightful inner sources, always takes my hand
I’m always looking for myself within reactions of others
And yes, at times….I learn…oh so much
Exhausting others, speaking endlessly of experiences
I know their eyes roll, and tumble with exhaustion
Meaning no harm, but wanting so, to share expressions and heart

It is best though, to let go of what cannot be resolved
Until the next time, surrendering an all encompassing trust
Trusting in the process of letting go….patience and allowance

Oh, wishing so I could live by my own expressions
Rolling with the punches and figuring things out on my own
I am an expressive excited chatterer…and want to experience it all
Finding such memorizing familiarity in a tiny caterpillar
Especially the big wooly ones, which speaks to me of coming winter
Things that most care nothing about…
Its been said, I am so full of myself…But, I’m not
I can hear them thinking…”sheessshhhh, it doesn’t take much”

Yet the morning awakens still, smiles, takes me by the hand
Lets me talk, talk, talk, with excitement and a warm smile on its face
The innocence is still alive and well, expression jumps high
I don’t really mind being alone, as, in reality I’m not
I like who I am, and my life, as boring as it may seem to some
Thanks to a few really good friends…with me they practice endurance
Bless their hearts and finding another magnificent cadence
There are many in this world who do indeed go the distance

I had to smile while reading this...finding my own reflection in many of your lines.
I too find such excitement in the daily miracle of nature.

You've got some great lines in this..your opening verse of morning is splendid!

and this line....

I place morning in my nap sack

thats adorable...a great personification

as is this analogy...


I’m a Van Gogh painting not yet born


Wonderful expression in this write of anticpation. The perfect poem to read in the morning as the sun comes up.

Well I cant say what I might believe ...
but if God made you ... he's in love with me.

Lee, this is so how I feel....I am so blessed to have some really good friends and loved ones who love my "chatter", and all the rest of me too...especially my Honey-Love.
Thank you for being you, Lee.

Lee--this is my favorite of yours so far -- what a wonderful soul you are -- "I’m a Van Gogh painting not yet born."
