MORNING GLORY

The imploring streams of mornings dawn

Glows like linen;

Cascading eastern light,

Peeking around crisp silky stones.

The heart is creating life,

Playing harmoniously,

Pretending to beat with feeling;

Emoting a whimsical masterpiece.

Unfinished words, ending hollow voices,

Reach out and touch the moon tonight.

Time will never end.

Heaven is still there;

Life's longest drought will end.

Smilesz. It's interesting how u weave your free verses, as differently yet as skillfully, as you had forged your rhymed structured verses. Very beautifully done, sarah... I particularly like the ending lines...give me a sense of bittersweetness though. I hope i aint sounding too rude now, but hehe, i have a poem that is similar to yours: The Morning Glory And The Nightingale. If u have the time, please read it. I will be honored if u leave your comments for it (as with every other poem of mine) Smilesz.
