I awake early from my sleep
Summer sun has not risen yet
The air is still it whispers not
Even Moon has already set
Listen for twitter in the trees
Even the owls throw in the towel
It's magic just me by myself
Time for poet, verse and vowel
Horizon lightens as I stare
Prompting twitters from above
A wombat's grunt comes along
Cooing starts of Turtle dove
Now the breeze whispers quietly
Lest the humans wake far too soon
Then the Sun's rays light up the sky
As the early birds sing in tune
Hear the distant hum of traffic
As man scares the wild ones away
Now there's a rumble of a train
Horns are sounded...another day
I come in to find solitude
From mankind's crazy noisy way
There's nothing like nature's stillness
To lift me up to face the day

Good Morning, Sir. Great write; this captures that moment perfectly. I remember.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly beautiful, Robin!💖 There is definitely magic in early mornings 😊 especially love; "Now the breeze whispers quietly/Lest the humans wake far too soon/Then the Sun's rays light up the sky/As the early birds sing in tune." Thank you so much for writing to the prompt!💖
ReplyDeleteMorning has broken .... this is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of awakening, Robin, and my time of day – love it – including the wombat!
ReplyDeleteWhen all the world is still, it is lovely to find solitude.
ReplyDeleteI love the rhyming in this one, Robin and especially love "time for poet, verse and vowel." Cool!
ReplyDeleteYou've nicely captured the main reason folk go in to the wilds. Alone with Nature and her still existing guests. I can't remember the last time I've done that. Golf course is fine with me. Even the electric carts respect the beauty.
ReplyDelete..

ReplyDeleteI love "poet, verse and vowel" too.
ReplyDeleteThe gentle awakening.... love this.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, to be awakened by nature, to see, hear and feel it is like no other experience. Beautiful writing
