the first sigh of morning
breaking bread,
breaking waves,
breaking the light
in prisms
of affection
what energy
suffuses
the moments
before
morning breaks?
a songbird lingers,
I do too.

As we lie there warm, still,
As we lie there warm, still, sensuously contented, the bird sings,
our essence is transported by the dust particles in the sunlight
and our partners smile a good morning.
The bread crumbs of you affection for breakfast :)

Indeed, Ann of Norway.
Indeed, Ann of Norway. Indeed. I live for these moments.
And how absolutely fortunate we are in these moments before the world-as-it-is falls on our shoulders, if it does. But then again there are days when nothing but joy abounds.
Morning hug.

You know that I know that we
You know that I know that we know what it is.
I never cease to see, hear, smell, taste the morning,
am up and ready to fly, oh listen there's a great tit
"doing its nut"!! OO Spring is surely here.
Ann ,hug back for two.

peace and conflict
the morning smoke
the coffee
the prayers to the east
the sun washing
and then the din of
everyday with its joys
or mayhem
challenges
and gentle respites
and then waking up
hitting the ground running
like many do
serving others or
surviving to exist
here and in the world
a poem as you say to gentler
moments
Thank You!!

I'm wondering...
... do we have a sense of sigh? This pleasant little poem certainly provoked mine. Very nice and rather different for you. No politics, no pedantics, just sighs. wesley

Thank you Ann, Esker, Wesley,
Thank you Ann, Esker, Wesley, and Stan.
I get it, and so do you.

p.s. LOL. I would never have considered myself pedantic. "Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules."
