If Only Morning Could Last

To hold the morning throughout the day, into the envelope of night where tiny dewdrops dangle, in the hush of morning light. To hear the hymns of birds that sing, with the rising sun, if only morning could last, until the day was done. The gentle mist awakens the delicate faces of flowers, lavish blooms of Morning Glories, embrace the temperate showers. If only morning could last.

"The gentle mist awakens the delicate faces of flowers,"...... Such a striking image. Early in the morning I enjoy watching the dew washed petals and the awakened faces of flowers. Lovely penning, dear Paulette !

Lovely philosophical rhyme Ms. Paulette. A very nice introduction to my first peek into your poetic imagery. But I don't believe it will my last. Looking forward to returning to your poetic garden. All the BEST life has to offer/ Terry

I use to be a morning person but lately I have been staying up all night with my Collie Tavi and reading poetry and watching Poker on TV, what an exciting life I lead Paulette lol. I have been working painting the deck until 10 in the evening. So that is my reward for doing so. I ove the mornings though all the animals are out and about. Love watching them... Love your Poetry. Blessings your way Dear...

Hi Michael, I think we go through stages in life because I never was a morning person until recently. I love listening to the birds and breathing in the fresh scent of morning, is priceless. Sounds like you and Tavi are enjoying life.....if you are doing what you love, then you life is full and rich. Thanks for stopping by, my friend. :)Paulette
