Magic Moments

I am, by nature, a lover of the night; but despite that fact, there is one other time of day that I adore.

It's that ....

Moment of Birth


Have you ever felt that moment?

The moment when a drowsy moon
Ushers in the sun's birth at dawn,
Painting an anxious sky in softest pastel hues,
Chasing the restlessness of the night into submission --
Into a silence without stars;
When the earth holds an inspired breath,
Then lets escape a grateful sigh,
Breathing kisses to the morning dew,
Reciprocation sparkling under sun's widening smile,
Signaling nature's symphony,
As creatures, both great and small,
Awaken, welcoming with sing-song tones and yawn,
A clean slate, awaiting dream's fruition,
When, in an instant,
The moment ends ....

In the freshness of new beginning.
