To Morning
" O holy virgin! clad in purest white,
Unlock heavens golden gates, and issue forth;
Awake the dawn that sleeps in heaven; let light
Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring
The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day.
O radiant morning, salute the sun
Rous'd like a huntsman to the chase, and with
Thy buskin'd feet appear on our hills."
{William Blake}
~ in the quiet hours before dawn
~ as the sky was turning shades of pink & apricot
~ of dreaming spires in dawn mist
~ to see the dawn nudge up over the rooftops
~ sunrise rosy & golden
~ in the early sunlight of a summer dawn
~ sunrise colored the sky in a burst of bright orange & striated pink
~ dawn burnishes the world from gray to golden as the sun rises
~ lit from within, excited by the prospect of waking to a new day
~ with the waking world you are free
~ mellowed to the morning light with a new radiance
~ as the sun begins to rise, she is overcome with thoughts of an affirmation, a proclamation,
a promise - to shine everywhere & always to the very depths of her days
~ the navy hue of dawn
~ morning light was clear & melodic
~ what a privilege to be awake at dawn to watch as the sky turned from navy to gray,
lavender to violet
~ the rising fingers of sunlight
~ in the deep blue of new morning, the dance of light about the branches
~ early sunlight soft & golden
~ sky spread with the sun's rosy stain
~ for blue skies & dawns lovely with birds
~ dawning light was new & tender
~ the sun was spreading warm like honey over the morning
~ on the dewy dawn morning
~ the morning seemed to break into a million shards of light & color
~ in the pink-pearl light of dawn
~ in the soft, breathing hours before dawn
~ golden, even in the morning the light was softly drowsy
~ lemony light of the morning
~ the milky, uncertain light of dawn
~ morning light streams in through the window, a soft yellow, a burgeoning glow
~ a sunrise of frosty pinks & silvers
~ dew soaked dawn
~ dawn sends a sheaf of hallowed golden rays
~ eastern sky lightens the hem of the night pulling away
~ spider webbed light of dawn coming through the conifers
~ the sun rose golden in the pink sky
~ promise of daylight cast a ribbon along the horizon
~ tinged with all the splendor of dawn
