Before Darkness…
I rise like the Sun!
Before Darkness…
My soul dances
in praise
of the new day!
Before Darkness…
My thoughts buzz like
the
humming of bees.
Images and expressions
take wing
like beautiful butterflies
floating freely.
My thoughts are as free
as the air itself!
And, my spirit sings!
All this,
Before Darkness.
Before Darkness
There is light.
And, great insight.
The darkness welcomes others
but it is NOT for me.
Darkness is simply
a collection of moments
whose worth,
I do not see.
Ingrid Exner, 2016.
I like this poem, it has so much positivity.
Thanks Joyce! I think that I was made with an extra dose of positivity-lol 🙂 I hope you are enjoying the marathon/ half marathon! There are so many talented poeets from around the world. Me, I am just writing and enjoying 🙂 Are you doing the full? Thanks for the comments! How can we do searches to see specific peoles poems…I would like to see yours too!
Ingrid, I’m doing the full 24 hours. I got behind on posting, working on it. I’ve written every hour but haven’t posted everything yet. To see specific peoples posts go to participants and click their name to see their posts. Good luck
Thanks Joyce! Take care and take those breaks when needed. Good luck and enjoy the rest of the marathon. #12 will be my last poem. I am still stiff from the canoe trip and can’t sit for any longer! I will look for more of your poems tomorrow. Good luck and stay perky, focus and awake 🙂
