Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Early
A song to listen while reading. It is the early song from my early life
Awaken
my love
the sun has
tried to
break through.
The distance
shrouded
trees appear
await
bird song.
I am
the mist
ready
to envelop
your senses.
Awaken
my love
love
has broken
through.
The mist
has risen
my body
awaits
gentle touch.
Awaken
my love
’tis early.

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Awaken
I can never do that because I’m always singing to the music in my head, so I had to stop and read your lovely words separately, Brian ๐ ๐

Thanks Jo ๐ yes I do find reading and listening a bit difficult. Funny as when I was working I always had music playing to drown out the chitter chatter of the other people in the office when I was moved to an open plan area.

Lovely poem, Brian. As a child, Morning Has Broken was my favourite school assembly hymn, whenever I hear it now I’m eleven years old again. ๐
