This morning I heard the sunrise. I sat up in my bed and looked out my window.
I smiled, and yawned and felt happy.
Pink streaked across the sky. A bird sang. The roses quivered.
Whatever the day brings,
I hope I witness it with open arms.
photo: an overflowing fountain...Splashing me with awareness that life is to be shared.
Happy day, happy day, I hope you have a happy day :)

I woke this morning - smiled, yawned, felt happy, sat up, looked out of the window and it was foggy and I couldn't see a thing. Swap places Corey?

The sky overflowed here yesterday all day...I think it stopped today but I just heard a dribble...one drop falling

I LOVE this picture! Besides it matches your words so well...
Water is life, it also brings energy. Maybe this is why I love water so much, from a fountain, from a mountain stream, ...

the sound of a frog jumping
into water

Beautiful! Do you have any idea how you enrich our lives and make us think about things just a little bit differently (and much better)? Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh how I wish for pink streaks across our sky...but, alas, we have a blustery day, Pooh. Ten days of overcast skies with drizzle or rain.
Thank you for sharing your overflowing day with us :-)

I am woken by the sunrise every morning...we don't have curtains in our new home yet lol! It never ceases to amaze me the most beautiful way God chooses to waken us each morning. I too will enjoy it with open arms Corey. Nel

Lovely post, Tica. I often wake before dawn. In those first quiet moments, as the dark fades slowly from the sky to reveal the familiar in a different light, I understand why we call it a new day. No two sunrises are the same, and everything looks slightly different than the day before. Watching the sun come up reminds me of the dual nature of life, its constancy and its change, and stirs in me a deep wonder.

you are a painter, your words are the paint and the page (or screen in this case) your canvas. We are the patrons who walk amid the gallery taking in your beautiful collection of works. "This morning I heard the sunrise"...how poetic that is. THANK YOU!
XOXO

I just HAVE to tell you this. I was all ready for the sunrise this morning...watching for it and it was absolutely the most stunning one I've ever seen (including beach sunrises). I had just dropped the boys off at school and topped the hill. It looked like something was on fire in the distance but it was the sun. There was a blanket of fog and it was reflecting off the fog and there were twirls and swirls. I actually physically gasped and thought "there it is!" It was so beautiful and I thought of you. Thanks for preparing me for it this morning. :)

No witty comment today, I just love the detail of the water dropping in the picture! :)

Fantastic poem. I find it particularly moving that you defy the senses by hearing the sunsrise first.

I really like this one. It's simple, concise, and positive. And "I heard the sun rise." points for cuteness.
