TODAY 27 December 2011 The jubilation of a new day is earth-sweet on the tongue like eagle-flight breath above the mountain-tops in a sky of Alaskan-blue to the tinkling song of a bracing, finger-trailed, freshly-born stream. Owl |

Ah, Diana, I think you reached out and tapped me on the shoulder. I was just heading for bed and decided to peek in here one more time. You write beautiful like few here. Love this. Love you. Alison |

Oh, Alison! I did! I was hoping you would see your skies first! Isn't that strange? Thank you for your magical words. They are much appreciated. Love you too. Owl |

The picture you paint here is my favorite time of day. Having been eyewitness to the wonder of daybreak a thousand or more times. On purpose I might add. This also reminds me of Cat Stevens.. "Morning has broken", only more sophisticated in its prosaic delivery. In this poem, I can hear the Blackbird singing, "Like the first bird" [This message has been edited by ice (12-27-2011 07:22 AM).] |

Thank you, Ford. You say the loveliest things! I, too, love that song, and can hear it now clearly, especially the 2 lines you quoted, and am smiling as I hear them. Owl |

Thank you, Ruth! I am so glad! You and your kitty cats, Kate and Colin, did so much for me after each of Flicka, then Daisy, then Tigger went to Heaaven at their various times. Owl |
