The best of days

… begin without surprise.

The morning, lit with tones of black and white,

has yet to finish last night’s dream;

which, for the moment is smack-bang right

in the wake of a somnambulant’s scream.

The dawning, there at daybreak’s edge,

takes delight in stretching time’s dimension

beyond the border and over the hedge

into a suspended realm of comprehension.

The warning, with powers of sharp alarm,

resists the urgent clang of thund’rous bolts,

renders a response that’s measured and calm;

favouring the whisper that gently jolts.

The best of days begin without surprise;

preparing greener pastures for bluer skies.

About the Creator

Tim Grace

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
