Touch the Morning Sun

ValerieJean

Free verse
My soul looks up
and full of delight
Wanders here in the perfect woods
Where the deer and foxes
play so bright
And I see my God is good

The pink and gold
 in the morning light
Reflections of wonders
  And worlds to come
The sparkles and splendors
And glories of night
Tears slip as I'm overcome

I hear you Lord
Express your might
In Oceans of colour
And the northern lights
And your powerful word  
gives wisdom and sight
And peace as the singing bird

Yet in the hoary frost
Of mountain height
And touch of the morning sun
I know my life
 is just a vapour
And the kingdom still to come
The glory of my Lord and Christ
I ponder
The day when all is right
And eternity belongs
to those
 who surrendered
To those who gave away their right.

    I absolutely love this poem! The imagery you've painted is both beautiful and inspiring, and I feel like I've been transported to a serene and joyful place. The way you've described the woods and the animals is so vivid, and it's clear that you have a deep appreciation for the natural world. I also appreciate how you've woven themes of faith and spirituality throughout the poem - it's clear that your relationship with God is an important part of your life.

    If I had to offer some improvement suggestions, I would say that there are a few places where the rhyme scheme feels a bit forced (like "sight" and "bird"), but overall I think the poem flows nicely. I would also love to see more of your unique voice and perspective in the poem - while the imagery is stunning, I think it would be even more engaging if you included more of your personal experiences and feelings.

    Overall, I think you've crafted a truly lovely poem. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more from you in the future!
