Poems on Life

In some sense, it could be argued a category about Life is a vague, nebulous cop-out. Any poem ever penned by Man or Woman would surely gain ready admittance here. All poems, almost by definition, are about Life.
But don't, for a moment, think that makes this category any less important. On the contrary, if the poems and topics you are about to explore are about Life, then they are also about you.
No one person can ever experience all that life has to offer. It is only through sharing - experiences, feelings, insights - that we can hope to grow beyond our own meager lifetime. Are you ready to grow today?

The Brand New Day
by LesA47

At dawn, through my opened window,

I gazed upon a breathless,

And heart-stopping sight.

On the horizon in front of me,

Appeared an aurora of mystical lights,

Reflecting deep into the cavities and,

Ridges of the surrounding mountains.

Before me shown the early light,

Penetrating the morning mist,

As it caused perpetual golden rays

To illuminate through the highest

Mountain peaks,Awakening the earth below.

As I peered closely,Brilliant colors of light

Stretched upward,Like fingers on a hand

Into the yet, dawning sky.

Oh, as I gazed at this precious sight,

Time itself seemed to be waiting,

And wanting to grasp hold of

The first beams, that would burst forth

From the East and to witness,

The suns smile beckoning"The Brand New Day. "
