Morning Light

Good morning, special people who share with me some of our globe’s space and the mind boggling wonder of the Internet. Here in Chiagoland, I now view a delicate coral haze of sunrise from the direction of Lake Michigan. The TV weather girl has promised a cool, but beautiful September day, a treasured memory to store away and bring up when the cold and slush of winter seem forever. I had arisen earlier to a window full of darkness, only lit by the familiar streetlamps, until I scrunched my eyes and noticed something in the distance:

New Light

Its shadows and its lights

That is until this morning’s view

In captured a new Light

 

There it is before me now

Behind thick shrubbery

A Light I’d never seen before

It seems to call to me

 

All was as it had been before

The lamplights glow in place

The inky highs sketch out the skies

The hush before the race

 

But there Its glow, though whispered low,

Presents an added Flame

Its meaning still a Mystery

That daylight may give name.
