the world stirs
light pushes towards earth
eyes blink
closed from longs night sleep
all that were settled stretch
branches open wide
their feathered dwellers
cry the morning song
flying off from nestled homes
I could have written of the darkness
as I saw it
in so many hours past
digital click to warn me of the
minutes passing by
of life
eyes that wish to close
yet drawn to nature wakening
the sounds, the calls
bringing rhythmic pulses to the air
and nothing changes
night to day
sleep or not
with memories of yesterday
thoughts of tomorrow
we start again
the day is what we make of it

The day is indeed what we make it. Good thought to reflect on jenny.
This was a 5am write, when sleep evaded me 😞 thank you Michael.
When your mind is at its most agile!!
Really? I was up most of the night..it wasn’t feeling agile at all! 😊
Such peaceful, positive flow to this. Good 4am reading for me. A refocus, thank you.
Oh lovely you have made my night, such a beautiful comment to write~ thank you and enjoy your early morn. xx
Wow! You write a good write, J.
Pfft, you have me blushing. I was deliriously tired when I wrote this! I thank you so very much though R very sweet comment.
Just the truth.
Well I curtsey and thank you once again.
And there are the words again. So lovely to see this morning.
Thank you Bec.. a long time coming I guess, lovely to see you too ~ hugs much 💜 xx
You write so beautifully Jen. You were so tired yet so called to the loveliness around you. Speaks so well of you. 🙂
I found it amazing what words could actually come through my bloodshot eyes and brain at that hour! Thank you so very much sweet. 💜 xx
Absolutely splendid poetic and a wondrous “new year” and “new day” message to all, Jen.
I loved this one! We all can make our days the way we wish to, such a powerful one to send out. I saw peace branches in your poem, too. Ways to keep ties close and rooted, too. Hugs for a marvelous new adventure ahead with many turns and some ‘falls’ but mostly arriving at the end of 2015 safe and sound, together again. That is my wish for you, dear friend, Jen!! xo
Thank you darling, I wish that too, so many turns and falls to come yet I feel, but let’s hope the roads meet up along the way. Appreciate your kindness on my poem, I am glad that you loved it ~ thank you so much. 💜 xx
yes, ‘we start again.’ and there is the key –
And again..and again… Thanks darling 💜 xx
Well described–the beginning of a new day. For me your poem and that time of day hold so much potential.
Thank you for visiting Vick and your kind words, appreciated.
A new dawn, a rebirth of a day. Just so serene. Sleep evaded me the other day because I was sick and my mind was busy composing book reviews, a note to Colin etc.
You create beautiful words even when you are most exhausted and those words are just so apt. A new day is what we make of it. I need to remind myself of that every single day.

I smile wide when I read your note to Colin! Sorry that you were sick though lovely 😞 I need to take my own advice from my writing as I have a tendency not too 😞 thank you so much darling for your kindness once again. xxx
Indeed .. a morning is a new beginning… why wait for a new year?
Hello Bjorn, thank you for popping over. I haven’t been on DV for so long. No I won’t be waiting for the new year…I promise. Appreciste you reading. Happy New Year to you and yours 🎉
Same to you, and hope for a nice summer while we have winter.
Thank you. Our hot days have begun.. keep warm!
A beautiful return, Jen. A real dawning. These night time wakenings are a mixed blessing. (I swear in mine, right enough!) 😉
Thank you darling ..I swear most of the time lol. 😜 x
The day is what we make it – let’s make it a good one to start 2015! Happy New Year!
Thank you Emily, fingers crossed. The 1st of Jan today, got though unscathed so far 😊 Happy New Year to you and I appreciate you popping in.
Timely reminder – that each day is a new beginning, which can usually be better than the last, even if it is just through thinking differently about our struggles…
Beautifully written, Jenny, my favorite part being;
I could have written of the darkness
as I saw it
in so many hours past
digital click to warn me of the
minutes passing by
of life
Every moment is precious.
