Rose

Rose lifts her head gently
from morning’s pillow
Then blasts her point of view
brightly across the firmament.

Loudly she proclaims the beauty
of a new day’s dawning,
without yawning,
she shouts the juxtaposition
of the eastern horizon.

She is our morning Star
and cannot be dimmed
by some understudy
in the wings,

only by a shroud of mist.
Yet in her persist,
she will burn away
any attempt to blur her glorious
light and in time will prevail.

(so do you know "whom" Rose is?)

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Nope, I don't have a clue who Rose is,
but I loved the way you described her
vivacious nature and her enthusiasm for life.

Very pretty poetry VAS~

I'm guessing the sun.  But maybe I need to search deeper?  Anyway.. I think the descriptions in this are beautiful!

Yes, Endlessecho, you've got it. It was the sunrise upon the date written.

Glad both of you liked this and took time to read and comment.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
