There Was a Time

There was a time when I wished only to fall asleep and never wake.

A beautiful thought, a beautiful poem. Every day should begin with a dawn.. seen, imagined or.. dreamed of. Dawn is creation reminding us.. what we could so easily forget. Many thank yous, Craig.

Thank you so much for stopping here to watch the dawning, dear Emma. I hope your world is shining bright all around you there... and always.

Try looking outside the window,  late at night you could hardly see a single soul walking on the street.
That may be you right now.  No one to share your thoughts with.  No visible path,  just you and your loneliness.  But the night will end,  the sun will rise. You’ll see hope,  new roads, new opportunities again in your life.  People will approach you,  they would want to work with you,  they would want to know you,  they would want to be with you.  But what can you now, is wait patiently. Wait patiently for your time to come.

And I'm glad to know, that morning sun with new hope has already arrived in you life.

Beautifully penned.

Dear Soyam, so grateful for your uplifting words. The world carries such a weight of darkness at times, but yes, the sun will come again... and warm us again... and renew us. Waiting for that dawning. Thank you!

My pleasure dude!

Dear Craig,

Your beautiful poem engraved in stunning sea green just took my breath away. The appreciation of life is so precious and life is nothing short of a miracle. The sunrise is such a wonderful gift each day. And we're gifted only a limited number. Some day, we'll run out and so let's embrace every dawn. Thank you for these words of wisdom and such amazing light.

Dear Divya, thank you for your ever lifting words... still learning the deep treasure that a new sunrise is... and the treasure of good friends... You are so appreciated.

Glad I'm reading this today as coincidentally, due to an abberation that means Scotland is mid heatwave, haven't Ben sleeping much and getting more and more grumpy about it. But it does take the sheen off the day when used to being up at silly o'clock, watching with silent awe how truly much of a miracle each new day is.
It is almost reminiscent of that childhood feeling that because your entire world is asleep (your family and neighbours) that you feel like the only person in the world to be awake.
An excellent, positive piece, especially when getting ready to wind down for the weekend.

Lorry, thank you so much for your words! Ah, I know how grumpy heat can make us. Had to mow yesterday and was simply drenched when I finished. May you find a sweet rest from the heaviness of the heat... and time to sleep when every neighbour is sleeping too. Happy new week, dear friend!

Yes when you get to my age 64 and a half ! Lol every morning you awaken is a blessing and I try to be grateful every day
Love your write

[An owl on the moon]

Oh, I know that feeling! Hoping each day can wrap you in more and more blessings. Thank you for your kindness here!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Life presents itself to us everyday, pristine and new. How tragic, that it's only when we grow old, that we realize how much of a gift it truly is! Quite an awakening here, Craig. So good seeing you!

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you, Kelly! I so hope that life is rising bright and beautiful all around you here in this wondrous spring!
