The country sleeps:
eastern glow
increases slowly,
keeps growing
until the sun pokes its nose
over the horizon,
creeps up, sweeps by
along the arc
across the sky;
at last it sinks
to the fading western glow
‘til
all is dark:
the beginning and ending
of another day.

Just found this incredibly beautiful poem Rhiannon. Sunrise and sunset are such peaceful times of the day, you describe so well.

Lovely read.

Thank you, Jenny. Glad you enjoyed.

Yes, there is a peacefullness and in the steadiness and certainty of the regularity and provision. And a daily testament to God's provision for us. Rhiannon

Agree with Jenny. Also you make such a feeling of peace, reassuring, eternal. Your poem reads so slowly, steadily, there is a purity to how you describe unstoppable force of light

Thanks, Di. It is always good to hear your assessment. And as I mentioned to Jenny, how wonderful it is the steadiness of just the right amount of light and heat, despite our grumbles! Rhiannon

My best moments, in thought, solutions, ideas, serenity, peace and clarity are dawn, dusk , sunrise & sunset, as you have artfully, poetically, written here, in this beautiful poem. Inspirational & visionary as a witness to earths daily and often overlooked wonders. Well done.....

Thank you, Jean. I enjoyed thinking about it. and it reminded me of Psalm 19 where the stars and sun are mentioned as providing for all, seen and felt by all, and calling to all to worship, but then the revelation of scripture is clearer! Rhiannon
