As the leaf unfurls itself
  when sunlight caresses its surface

I too uncurl myself,
  from midnight’s dreams

~together~

we greet a new day
sighing, in unison

welcoming the chance to renew

fresh morning’s dew for two

then awaken
veins of life anew.

~Moments to cherish~

first and last,
  

knowing that as the leaf
  curls in upon itself,

it is the grand finale.

I too uncurl myself,

Hi Kacy.
Outlook Ex is down it will not connect.
There for this is the only method by which I may communicate with Midnitesun.
Hopefully the Mods will not mind if the Pips message system is being used for purposes  other than those for which it was designed.
Yesterday I went to school and attempted to take the placement test, but I could not hear well enough to be read a long passage that tests comprehention.  So jean is going to Braille out this material so that I can read it.
I am pondering a nude write, in which I will propose that there is no distinction between the empirical supposedly objectivist scientific views of the world, and ancient spiritual beliefs about the universe.
Soon

Thank you Lee, Paul and Sy, for uncurling with me
Jaime, I will attempt an email to you this evening, hoping the system is working for you again. Write it, I look forward to reading! Good luck on the test, hope they can get you on target with it.

A leaf also uncurls in spring
Delighting in its new birth.
So are you.  

Beautiful story, Kacy.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

You circled your own poem
with a beginning and end, Kacy.

An excellent read.
