So lovely and serene! Lovely pic to go along with your poem. Nice 'd' alliteration here. Being alone to contemplate in quietness is important for everyone whether they believe it or not. Nice work!

I wrote a song years ago entitled "Have you ever felt complete isolation, in the stillness of the before the Dawn," but it's meaning was nothing like this. But my favourite time of day is watching the sun rise, well done Melissa, great write and entry, good luck, blessings Roy

Enjoyed this peaceful poem and the tranquil picture of the sunrise. Early morning is a time of "delicious solitude." Hope you enjoyed such quietness today and talk with you soon.

A marvelous graphic sets the companionship right from the first stanza and ends resoundingly with the last stanza. A very fine contribution to the Tanka contest. you should do well.
