Birds sound the wake-up calls,
An opened door gives the view,
Of smokey clouds; still, unmoving,
Not like the pace
Of morning into a new day.
More like the tree sillhouettes,
Seeming to stay shadows,
Only they wouldn't;
For a deliberate sun comes out,
To shine-up the greeness.
That colour, so much,
A Caribbean sun loves.

Reading your poem is a lovely way to start the day, Gillena. I was there with you, listening to the birds, looking at the view through the open door and enjoying the tree silhouettes in the Caribbean sun. Thank you for taking me there.

David and I are going on a cruise and your writing made me think of that feeling of stepping out on deck in the morning, out at sea...

ReplyDelete"the pace of morning into a new day" ---- I love this idea of the morning itself being a transition.

Why stay a shadow when you can be a Green the sun loves? I like this.
