the first sigh of morning

breaking bread,
breaking waves,
breaking the light
in prisms
of affection

what energy
suffuses
the moments
before
morning breaks?

a songbird lingers,

I do too.

Nordic cloud

As we lie there warm, still, sensuously contented, the bird sings,
our essence is transported by the dust particles in the sunlight
and our partners smile a good morning.
The bread crumbs of you affection for breakfast :)

Indeed, Ann of Norway. Indeed. I live for these moments.

And how absolutely fortunate we are in these moments before the world-as-it-is falls on our shoulders, if it does. But then again there are days when nothing but joy abounds.

Morning hug.

the morning smoke
the coffee
the prayers to the east
the sun washing

and then the din of
everyday with its joys
or mayhem
challenges
and gentle respites

and then waking up
hitting the ground running
like many do
serving others or
surviving to exist

here and in the world

a poem as you say to gentler
moments

Thank You!!

... do we have a sense of sigh? This pleasant little poem certainly provoked mine. Very nice and rather different for you. No politics, no pedantics, just sighs. wesley

Thank you Ann, Esker, Wesley, and Stan.

I get it, and so do you.

p.s. LOL. I would never have considered myself pedantic. "Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules."
