Whatever Is

As morning light puts out the night
And dewdrops shower early morn.
I rub the dreams to natural sight
And watch the golden shafts of dawn.

I listen to the wind instead
Whispering all the early noise
The birds nearby that have not fled
The ones that watch and wait in poise

I smell the odors of new birth
The flowers lifting up their heads
The seeds that burrow through the earth
The perfume that the breeze has spread

I feel the power of the sun
The chill is gone and warmth is here.
I think on all this life begun
And weigh my thoughts of interfere.

But why do I think interplay?
If I’m but a part of the day

It's great we have a choice. We can observe or participate. Maybe put in store some birdseed. Good morning poem.

Well, you are definately part of MY day....
sunshine on me shoulders  
love the imagery and soul of this Stinky...
sincere intend wrapped in rhyme and a respect for the things that are bigger than all us.
me




I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

Enjoyed the poem, it painted a nice picture for me of the morning, thought maybe you could have done a little more with the last line to tie it in. Just a thought, great work.

Interesting, such a pretty, visual poem, with a big philosophical question at the end.
I never feel completely part of any of it, but this one makes me want to try to appreciate the morning more.

'I smell the odors of new birth
The flowers lifting up their heads
The seeds that burrow through the earth
The perfume that the breeze has spread'


Thank you ..
I approach each morning with refreshing awareness of something new ~
Sometimes it lies upon the lawn ~
Sometimes it lies in me ~
