Morning Breaks
Morning creeps tirelessly around the planet
Awakening small increments of time
The first few seconds, growing into
The first few minutes, growing into hours
Growing to form another day of our lives
Beneath which it buries the recent past
Beneath which it buries our ancestors
Beneath which it buries the dinosaurs
Who once were woken by this same morning
Incrementing their lives by one day
By one day at a time.
As nightmares shatter, morning breaks
Putting a lie to the gradual process
Shards of sunlight cutting away our dreams
Prising us out from the places we choose to hide
Along the line of morning, as with an intake of breath
Doors open inwards and we emerge,
Eyes blinking, unprepared, into a new day.
Morning has broken and now we must continue
Willing or not
Trying to piece together our lives.
Breaking, waking, making what we will.

Post a CommentThank you, Christine!
I am pleased you like the poems (especially the sheep)
This is so true...whether we like it or not, time waits for no one and morning comes and we all have to do what we need to do to survive. I like your style. I am adding you to my favorites -- especially for the other poems about sheep. I love originality!
