Sing The Light

Morning is a softened time.
Trouble for the day
has not yet been to visit,
and in the grayness of the edge
birds are singing fiercely.
For the first time, I wonder why.

Science says that lengthening days
bring longer exposure to light,
triggering a hormone,
but I remember a song
"How Can I Keep From Singing"
and just smile.

We are all lifted up
with exposure to the light,
and in the rising
sing all the sweeter.

Wow, this is another well written piece.
I enjoy the comparison between light and happiness.
The description of the worry free morning is one I find to be accurate, although for me personally night is my worry free time.
All in all, short, sweet and enjoyable.
Nice job.

What a lovely passage of thought that equates the beginning of the day with the start of better things to come I love the imagery and the poem.

I live in Wales Dee...to even see the sun is a blessing as grey blankets of cloud just cover everything...including minds that only want the release of sunlit clarity. I adore this poem

This is really beautiful :D Overall the descriptions were rich with detail and I like how you put more depth to the meaning of the poem. I was really taken back with how wonderfully penned this poem. Keep up with the excellent work :)

Being someone who gets sunlight deficiency blues I totally buy this. I especially loved the part about science and then thinking of the song. Sweetly said, dear poet. Keep the quill dancing.

I love mornings and I feel you have done a good job of capturing the feeling of it
