You capture the splendors of nature. We can count on the fact that the sun's going to rise tomorrow. "The dew light sparks the day" is especially lovely. "Morn's cradle starts to sway" is another great one. This optimistic in tone, reassurance that God's light will never fail. Excellent rhyme and flow. Sounds so unforced, too. judi

Comment from Dolly'sPoems

Excellent

A beautiful and seren poem filled with the warmth of the sunrise and the start of a brand new day, just perfect. It's just a suggestion Roy, but the last line might sound good like this: 'then bows to life's mystique'. It's just a thought and it's your poem and it is wonderful and since you always help me with my poems, I thought I would do the same. Love Dolly x

Hi, Roy;
Thank you so much for sharing the words I truly needed to read this morning. As I sip my coffee and look out the window at a New Jersey sky, I need to hold onto my faith with both hands over the next two days. I pray that the woman who gets on the plane on Saturday hasn't been too warped by the events of today and tomorrow,

Isn't it funny Patty, when I write something I always pray and hope, it is an answer to what they seek, God guides our pen, if our intentions are in love. I've joined you in prayer Patty, I'm sure whatever form it takes, it will work out well,, thanks again fot the outstanding review, blessings, Roy,

And in the valley deep and cold
the ground will rise to meet
that mountain with its towering peak,
to hope's majestic seat.
Psalms 46- 10 comes alive ! Was thinking the moment. Good one Bro.

Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

I liked the idea behind this neat poem and the contrasting metaphors in the first couple of stanzas. 'Dew light sparks' is also an original phrase expressing the sparkling dew. Just a couple of typos caught my eye:

"And though your thoughts..." Since you are capitalising following the rules of punctuation rather than at the start of every line, there is no requirement for a capital A here as it follows a semi colon.

"lurks souls of life..." Plural subject, 'souls' need plural verb form 'lurk'. To my mind the next line is part of the same sentence so I cannot see the reason for the semi colon after 'unique'.

Comment from Halfree

Good

Thought the first four verses, worked very well, beautifully written. Last verse seemed out of place, somewhat sermonizing. Oh, first verse, could stand alone.
Beautiful poem and worth the read....last verse?
Have enjoyed reading your poems...excellent work.

Thanks, first time I've been told it's sermonising. Blessings, Roy

A very well-written uplifting and encouraging poem. We can know that even in our darkest times God will be with us to re-assure us He will break he darkness and shine again when the time is right.
