As have I

 

 

Has the dawn ever seen your eyes,

glowing in dreamscape whispers,

feathered by soft morning breezes,

enticing daylight wishes

& hot coffee desires,

reflecting in a winter’s sunrise

while bed sheet & flannel

affections warm you…

as have I

Author's Note

Note: The first line of this poem is the first lyric sung on Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Tarkus. Listened last week, had the line stuck in my head and had to use it somehow.

Thanks so very much. Music is such a big part of my life, but I guess many on here will say that. I appreciate your kindness Ana B.

Like a writing prompt...
it inspired you to reflect and write this.
'Nice thoughts'.
Music always helps the process for me.

Oh, I was going to link the song on here but it is 27 minutes long so, I didn't think anyone would stick around that long. :)

I Know you mean...

Will it is beautiful as all your writings; I had to let out a sigh and re-read waiting for the morning again - I love dawn. I just loved it. I always know sweet surprises await me here. Thank you again. Dale

i was just talking to my son about them .. and how Emerson was a levitation mystic ;) http://youtu.be/uSm5IQFaTZA

i was up early and let the dog out and while waiting for the princess to finish her morning ablutions .. the clouds were parted enough to allow a few stars through ... the dawn still hasn't arrived but your poem inspires me .. not to miss it!
and to appreciate the warm flannel affections that i just heard getting out of bed :) .. very enjoyable poem

It's passion in the evening, love through the night, but in the morning it's heartwarming to see that it's not a dream. :) Rudi
