Morning has cracked
the dawn
with a gray pallor

yet there is something
misty and mysterious
in the serenity of it

it is a solitude
of color
a quietness given

almost as a lullaby
in its lack of contrast
providing a slow lull

a gentle rising
a soft-stepping
to this day’s beginning

there is not a sadness
in the gray
but a semblance of amity

rather than the concerns
of earlier hours
of earlier days

oh may it not be
wishful thinking
in disguise

may it not be
merely
the calm before the storm

in line
awaiting
its ticket to rage

may it truly be
a peaceful cloak
coating this morning

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

You always write such peaceful stuff even when theres a maybe involved.your serenity must be contagious cause i always leave feeling a little better though i'm not sure i'm ready to write about the beauty of todays new fallen snow yet...enjoyed,thanks for sharing.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
