When The Garden Awakes
The rising sun flickers through the trees
creating dancing shadows on the lawn
while a lively breeze
is giving the old rusty vane
a good whirl around
The only soothing sound
besides the chirping of birds
in these early moments of the dawn
when all day noise is still unheard
Not a better moment in the day
for standing here and have a listen
while leaning in the doorway
face to the sun like the flowers
and sipping hot tea
Only quietness and me
watching the emerald grass wave
with a million dewdrops that glisten
when the garden slowly awakes

This is exactly how I felt this morning. I must have uttered "I love it here" a dozen times, under my breath, to the dogs, to the breeze; and it was still so!

Aah! The peace and tranquility of early dawn. Nothing like it. Time to gather one's thoughts and reflect, before the shackles of daily life take hold.
Beautifully written.

Really beautiful. I love the imagery. And I completely agree. There's not a better time in the day. I'm usually sipping coffee though :)

Lovely poetry. Most importantly I loved the nature love in the poem.

Super cool poem. You reminds me of those days when I used to hear and learn poems from my grand father of his own writings. Again the old days memories got refreshed.

I really like the poem. It goes into deeper in my bones. I don't know the feeling, I can't really explain it. Those words are very sweet in my eyes as I read it.
