I Awoke

I awoke the cocoon of night
By stroking of the dawn of light
A palate full of colors bold
Of blue and emerald and of gold

And from each branch of crystal dew
Waking wonders for my view
A filigree of glories be
A magic full of ecstasy

It drew me in this mist of awe
Like peeking into heavens door
And as it touched me with its grace
I felt the warmth of minds embrace

It took me for a moment’s ride
Into a place of eventide
And there I felt that time stood still
And I had paid my final bill

But if you let your mind to stray
All you‘ll see is mornings gray

Morning Sy

I liked the feel of this, the anticipation for the next line, the positive hop skip and jump of surprise and the sensation of joy, peace, respect for the greatness of simple things...

especially this...

It drew me in this mist of awe
Like peeking into heavens door
And as it touched me with its grace
I felt the warmth of minds embrace

loverly write!!!!!

Love, love, LOVE this Sy.....especially the first 2 stanzas - you must dream in meter - you make it look so easy, even though I know it's not.  Maybe you'll let me borrow your magic muse someeday?

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
