 The creeping hours have caught Me unaware. Through my window Spills the dawn and lemon Summer air like some full tide That bears the coloured barque Of day, rich-laden on its breast Above the lawn a cypress lifts Its sable sword in dark salute To speed the morning moon and bid Adieu to night Sweet Peas and Blue Wisteria cling to eaves And curled Azaleas poise like yellow birds Of paradise The sun has yet to open wide Its weary eyes to paint mauve shadows on the grass With fingertips still wrinkled grey with dew So no bird sings But on my senses steal the first faint scent Of earth and newly opened wings And leaves; the breath of blossoms Lingering like a lover's kiss Upon the lips of morn And I am loathe to think This magic hour in sleep would pass in vain So waking thus becomes my joyful gain….. |

quote: Wonderful imagery, dear Katriona! Yes, to be there in those moments so magically rendered by you here, I would sacrifice some extra sleep! This echoes in the heart, dear Poetess. Love, Margherita  "Love is the One who masters all things; |

That's about the sweetest reply you could ever give me dear Lindsay PS: So happy they found that young English lad who had gone amissing in the bush ! Must have been terrible for his poor parents (and himself). Quite distressing that youngsters go backpacking so unprepared into the wild environment. Must have cost a fortune for the rescue teams as well to look for him for two weeks. Well teenagers will be teenagers. I should know with mine Katriona |

hello heart2heart, this is so detailed and colored, it seems I walked there and smelt perfumes and saw the vivid sun bringing its joy...even if I am not familiar with the vocabulary I appreciated the beauty of the words and the sensations evocated...Great work. yann |

Every line was exquisite and its almost a shame that I am only quoing two of them ~ "The sun has yet to open wide Its weary eyes to paint mauve shadows on the grass" May your every day of every summer be as glorious as the one you have so beautifully painted in this poem.  Love & Summer Light, Linda  |
