In the Shy of the Light

there is a moment of peace
that with vibration softly hums
when first the earliest light
of shy green sunrise comes

nanosecond split of light
breaking 'way from the night
in this moment, shy of day
as emerald eyes come to play

not many see this emerald revealed
in sunrise's prism first unveiled
except those who arise with thee
come stand in early, watch with me

then through the passage of the day
the Sun attends its charted way

there is a moment of peace around
that with vibration softly sounds
when first the sunset shimmers last
and purple first comes to cast

soft twilight filters over all
and takes with it into the night
the set of day in all its bright
soft now into this purple twilight

and in this peace come to me
cherish always how it should be
that as day has passed to the night
emerald eyes now in the shy of light

a very serene and beautiful poem. I could gaze at such a scene for hours, give me a call next time you witness such splendour.

Sunshine, I know that moment well and you have described it perfectly..it is a moment of such peace and quiet and beauty...the soft beginning of day creating reds, yellows, purples, and a myriad of colors that are not seen the rest of the day....and the quiet is so crystal clear...it is a sight that no one can look at and not believe that God exists....thank you for the view from your pen....

Beautiful and well versed poem.  There was a movie that made mention of the flash of green, but I can't remember which one. It was aboard ship at sunrise.

If a dream touches us,
it exists to us as anything
else that touches us.

Sunshine,

Wonderful imagery and graphics.  They go so well together.  Beautiful poem.

Third attempt at posting to this beautiful piece.  Well for sure you captured me with the imagery and the beauty within your words and this one most definitely goes in my library under "Peaceful Moments From Heaven".  Now who is getting the imagery lessons?  I do believe it would be me.

in the sun's light
are dreams known
and lessons learned
for the light is a teacher
and we, the students. . .

wonderful Sunshine. . .

Very lovely. Anything close to the water is perfect for me, though I remember sunsets in California the most of all.  (I am not an early morning girl )
Enjoy 5AM tomorrow.
