A New Dawn

Missing image

 

In the early morning, sitting alone
waiting for the world, to wake around me

The lake, a mirror of golden stillness
in the distance
I see the misty dawn, of a new day rising

and I wonder to myself
What dreams of yesterday will come to me
if I dare to live, as if I could not fail

a new life, a new love
That is the miracle of each new season
of each new dawn

that everything may change
if we never let go, of our fondest dreams


Lee

    There is a lovely tranquil quality about this poem, something fresh and new, like dawn, like new dreams, or dreams that were kept alive despite the passing of time.

    I also liked the positive sentiments expressed here and think the title fits this piece so very well. It’s lovely to read something so filled with hope and “newness”. Nicely done – was a pleasure to read and get lost in. Thank you for your entry, Lee.

    Hi Friend,
    You must know how I love the picture.
    Your words are amazing. just like the man
    who made them.

    That beautiful lake that I never had the
    chance to see for myself. But all of the
    picture were beyond beauty.

    I remember how you love the morning hours,
    the stillness and the peace. Watching the
    sunrise and all the wonders that it brings.

    Never, never, and I mean never stop dreaming
    my friend. Because without dreams you have
    notihing to look forward to coming true.
    You once told me those very same words, and
    I never forgot, so don't you forget.

    Also Mr. remember we never truly know for
    sure, what each new tomorrow, each new
    dawn will bring.

    You're still a wonder on a soul, to me.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
    Love You,
    Joyce

      Hi Joyce

      I must have missed your comment

      I was thinking how lucky I am to have friends like you
      I don`t mean someone that reads me
      although that is always nice
      I mean someone that knows my soul completely
      and still chooses to love me

      In love, or out of romantic love
      you are always my treasured friend

      It is all through you words for me
      I thank you

      Your a blessing

      Love Rick

    The visuals that you gave me while reading this Rick were outstanding..I felt and saw everything through your eyes. The thoughts that are going through your mind have passed through mine so many times...Just lost in the moment of a lover that we have lost, or have we really..If they live inside of us, are they ever really gone???
    A beautiful write Rick..

    Interesting. Your poem is quite nice, and the image of a still lake works for me quite well, since I grew up on one. But..

    I find the poem, ironically, sad. I've often felt optimism is a sad thing. To give you my point, your poem is hoping for change (optimism), which means that whatever is current you want to change, which means what you have is bad. Get it? It's an argument that I've had with friends in real life for years.

    Regardless, back to your poem, love it, esp. "What dreams of yesterday will come to me"

        lol, Atelophobia is actually the fear of imperfection or defect.
        I thought it very fitting for a writer...
        especially myself [HUGE perfectionist >.<]

        And it was no problem. Very amazing piece.
        I envy your skill... lol

    Oh. This is a nice little poem that you have going on here. I thought that it was very sweet and gentle. The pictures was very peaceful itself and so I thought it represented the images that you wanted to convey. It was good poem for me to read today because I want to feel more calm and serene. You did a good job of expressing yourself here.

        May I be as bold then to remind you of who you truly are? Please allow me...

        you are compassion
        when our hearts mourn
        you are a safe haven
        in the midst of a storm

        you are a sweet soul
        a most kind light
        a beacon of hope
        in the darkness of night

        this and so much more
        is who you are my friend
        an encouraging voice
        heard till the very end

        you are a divine poet
        and also a mortal man
        you have wonders..and faults
        as we...so "friends" understand

        you are the very one
        giving me hope to live on
        when my heart was so sick
        and my fight was near gone

        need I say more?
        or is it now clear
        you are our Endeavor
        our friend so very dear!!!

        We all have moments we feel like we are a stranger to everyone and to ourselves. Tis part of the human puzzle. And when we are faced with such pain and disappointment this is magnified 10 fold.

        But blessed be the ones who truly know us. Who dismiss all that is implied and stated in favor of pure sparkling truth.

        I am persecuted for my faith...yet many do not take the time to get to know the "real" me. I am a follower of Jesus...{just not the church...LOL} So in closing let me state words by my kind gentle Mesiah...the PRINCE OF PEACE...the LILLY OF THE VALLEY...the BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR..."So I say unto thee...love those who hate you...and persecute you without reason. If a man loves only those who love him in return...what does he have? Yet I say...bless thine enimies...be kind in all...and then shall ye be a child of the KING!!!" A bit of revision there since we no longer live in the times of the King James. And I do read other books that were not written and manipulated by the Church of the past. But the message stands alone.

        My preaching is done...LOL!!!

        "Lord help me be who I claim to be!"

        A prayer I must pray without ceasing!

        Love and Respect~
