How lucky am I to wake this bright morning? Safely carried through night's passage. Like steadfast mountains often forgotten. While dreams retreat, my feet find the floor.
Safely carried through night's passage. Joining the color stream of these hours. While dreams retreat, my feet find the floor. River stones are worn smooth with time.
Joining the color stream of these hours. Letting love's current ease my way. River stones are worn smooth with time. Hand in hand is our way forward.
Letting love's current ease my way. Like steadfast mountains often forgotten. Hand in hand is our way forward. How lucky am I to wake this bright morning?
I’m sure nobody would mind if you’re a little tousled lol – perhaps another time… There is an online group based in Canada that do Pyjama writing – an hour of silent zoom writing together – for them it’s something like 8am but for me its about 12 so not quite the early morning exercise, but it’s strangely conducive looking up to see everybody working away! You can, optonally share fragments in the chat at the end and there is bit of banter before and after…
Helen, it makes me smile to hear that you received peace from reading my words.
I am choosing my morning focus with care and poetry is a part of it.
Be well,

Thank you for the request. The last I did not wake up in time to join the live gathering 7 AM is a bit early for a Saturday morning for this girl.
