Another day is dawning

~

 

 

The morning sun does slowly rise,

a lighthouse stands at ease

Its silhouette of nights untold,

awakes on satin seas

 

A silent beach in glistened glow

bids farewell to the tide

I walk this lonely stretch of sand,

my thoughts collect inside

 

Counting steps, the marks they leave

of places I have been

Past weathered dunes along the way

till I’m with you again

 

As crimson paints horizon’s fire,

in shades of pastel hue

Another day is dawning as

I only think of you

'A silent beach in glistened glow
bids farewell to the tide
I walk this lonely stretch of sand,
my thoughts collect inside'

Surely these words are far more than nostalgia and familiarity. Here, set in fine meter and gentle
language is loneliness, absence, sorrow, pain. One can't dilute or dissolve such feelings.

What a gentle romantic picture you paint with your words. I very much enjoyed. I'm always a
"sucker for the sand and sea" like Kenny Chesney sings in his song, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems. We have quite a few lighthouses here off our outer banks. I've visited all of them.

Thanks so much my friend. There is something very romantic about a lighthouse to me.

[FGFRANKLIN]

Yes. I've camped on Ocracoke Island a few times and I could see the sweep of the lighthouse beacon across the sky through my mosquito screen in the tent roof. I have good memories of those times.

Another day dawns and lazily yawns itself awake, to your rhythmic words and feeling of optimism and hope, that maybe just maybe, you will catch a sight of her today.
Beautifully captured Will.
