Morning Light
Virginia Salter

morning light peeking in
morning light peeking in
giving dawn its rise
giving dawn its rise
light of morning peeking in
giving dawn rise to its day

the black of night fades to blue
the black of night fades to blue
something like the color you
something like the color you
the color you fade to blue
as something of the black of night rests upon the whole of me

it rests on me much as the sea
it rests on me much as the sea
rests upon the land in waves
rests upon the land in waves
as the sea’s waves rest
upon the land and me

morning light is peeking in
to give the dawn its rise
that it may rest much as the sea
upon the land and whole of me
in waves that mirror something of
the black of night’s fade to blue and you

VAS,
if this is your first attempt, it's not too bad. In my first attempt I kept wanting to add words in the fifth and sixth line too.
Look! by the third verse you got the idea though, and you finished well. Well done!

I have never done one.

I need to read and study this, it seems so very interesting, and I liked it very much.
