Birth Of A New Day

Birth Of A New Day

Stillness of the morning
Eerie quiet
Peaceful calm
A gray mist
Enveloping all that is
Weaving in and out
Like a blanket
Through the bare, skeletal trees
Covered with dew
Like diamonds on
the gnarled arm of an old woman
Then without warning
The fog begins to lift
Everything is clear
The darkness fading
Into the distance
Only now a memory
As the world awakens

Early this morning I was inspired to write this bit of poetry. As I looked outside and saw the thick mist covering everything and the air feeling so cool and refreshing this is what came to me. There is never a time when I can just say to myself...ok i'm going to sit down and write a poem....it's more like I get a little prodding from that inner voice that tells me to do so. It's never a struggle for me to write anything because somehow the words just come to me. There is one poem that I wrote called Awakening that I know had to come from within because it just seems so far beyond my capabilities and this is it-->Celtic Spirit: More of my poetry

There's not really much going on today. I'll just be doing the normal things I always do such as laundry, cleaning, maybe working on my crafts. I'm not sure but I may make some bread today if it does not end up getting too hot since it's supposed to be up in the 70's again today.
