Listen, Look, Breathe In, Feel Listen Can you hear the silence? The earth holds its breath As it awaits the dawn. Look Can you see it beginning? The first faint rays of the sun Paint the horizon with crimson softness. Breathe in Can you smell the freshness? The sweet morning air Revives the dormant world. Feel Can you sense a stirring? All of nature awakens To bask in solar warmth. Listen Can you hear the stillness? A new tomorrow Is just moments away. Look Can you see the possibilities? Another day - a fresh, clean page To be filled with whatever we desire. Breathe in Can you smell the promise? The sweet breath of freedom Fills the soul with hope. Feel Can you sense a stirring? The heart awakens To the breath of life. -Troy J. Hoecherl- © Troy J Hoecherl All Rights Reserved Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Troy, This is fabulous, and so what I felt this morning, I had been in the dumps but this morning I did rise to greet life with a smile. I thank you for sharing this beautiful poem here with us. |

Rex - thanks! If you have a pot of coffee on, I like mine with two cream - no sugar. Lost Dreamer - thank you! I actually wrote this one awhile back, and I posted it now to help me raise my own spirits - I've been a bit depressed, myself. I'm happy that you could relate! WildChild - you are MOST welcome, if I brightened your day! And, thank YOU for brightening MINE with your kind comments! Thank you all for reading and responding!

Lone Wolf - thank you, my friend! I'm glad I could brighten your day...that's what friends are for, after all! Hoot - thanks so much for your gracious comments! Most of my poetry IS upbeat...although I have written a few mournful ones (you should see "Death, Be Swift" in Dark, for example, LOL!) Butterflies - I appreciate your kind words! When I first joined Passions, the first poem that I read was one of yours - and you are still one of my favorites! Thank you all again for your gentle words!
