Of symbols

Symbols rub ignitions bite
Shadows dub the start of light
Horizons inkwell filled with dew
Writes the mornings awe with hew

Creeping on the beach of morn
Washing in the breach of dawn
Flooding hearts with sheer delight
Fills the poets mind with write

He thinks himself a phrase or two
But cannot justice mornings view
But from his heart he makes a brush
And paints his feelings in a gush

It’s nowhere near the things he sees
Aladdin’s lamp could not appease
A tear fills up his lower lid
There are no words to do his bid

From his hand a clone is born for
Only God can hone a morn

What a wonderful piece to read at the break of day Sy!
So good to read you early in the morn with a cup of tea.
~Morning hugs and tea, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

But cannot justice mornings view
But from his heart he makes a brush
And paints his feelings in a gush

She believes in phrasing set by dew
And justice? Hardly, this morning's hue
But from her heart she writes in tones
Mixing flesh and muscle, blood, and bone...

  I have to bless the man that inspires my muse...

Good morning Sy

This is so true as you have so adequately expressed and in a very enjoyable and creative read as usual sir.
