Morning’s quiet retreat

Offering sunrise view

Taking splendor’s front seat

Sky sketched with clearest blue

 

Sanctuary of peace

Spirit’s closeness abounds

Renewal of life’s lease

Stillness felt all around

 

Harmony’s joyful tune

Brightening this new day

Filling every full moon

Mountain’s peak never gray

 

River’s gathering dreams

Shaped within ancient hands

Journey’s endless bloodstream

Tranquility’s heartland

 

Tomorrow always waits

Offering one more chance

Tasting now, nature’s fate

Spirit’s refreshing dance

Dreams are renewable.  No matter our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.

Dale E. Turner (1917-2006) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  Many of his works shared an unfailing optimism with his readers.

Sunset riding west

Daytime closes eyes

Darkness offers rest

Waiting for sunrise

 

As curtain lowers

Behold heavens’ stars

Pages turn slower

Dreaming from afar

 

Silence deepens breath

Moonlight’s fullness glows

Sleeping finding delight

Sailing each rainbow

 

Rhythm finds restart

Troubles take backseat

Calmness filling heart

Shaping night’s retreat

Tempting much too early

Overflowing thoughts stir

Life’s background music plays

Traveling to Big Sur

 

Remembering darkness

Transforming to moonlight

Memories play again

Rising from calmest night

 

Filling empty bucket

Pondering this new day

Distant dawn now teases

Opening mind to play

 

Feeling heartbeat’s rhythm

Leaving shadow’s twilight

Wisdom’s timeless travels

Scaling forgotten heights

 

Harmonizing sunrise

Glowing horizon beams

Sweet morning refreshment

Waking from blissful dream

Searching for quiet respite

Following dreams, each detail

Escaping from mankind’s noise

Finding narrative’s hidden trail

 

Crossing nearby forest bridge

Forgetting work’s last email

Arriving at paradise

Sweeping away narrative’s veil

 

Discovering prairie ahead

Saddling up, each thought exhales

Envisioning where time stands

Framing narrative’s rhythmic scale

 

Scanning landscape’s tranquil scene

Treasuring every inhale

Climbing each majestic peak

Flying narrative’s parasail

 

Grasping reins tightly in hands

Riding forward to prevail

Looking for more tomorrow’s

Writing narrative’s precious tale

Sunset says goodnight

Closing another page

Thoughts filling with peace

Waiting, tomorrow’s stage

 

Dreams nurture escape

Leaving reality

Subconscious journey

Resting under palm tree

 

Ocean’s tide rolls in

Viewing each breaking wave

Sleep’s rhythm flows out

Sketching stages to crave

 

Clouds soon disappear

Clearing under moonlight

Gentle hopes stirring

Taking in spirit’s night

 

Early dawn arrives

Rousting from slumber’s rest

Sunrise breathes again

Catching stage’s next quest

Another school day, found in learning’s shrine

Thoughts seeking adventure’s breath of escape

Youth deserves to fill tomorrow’s headlines

Endless visions gathered, flight plan takes shape

 

Looking up into heavens’ blackened sky

Seeking to travel amongst brightest stars

Dreaming of final frontier, flying high

Searching incessant mysteries afar

 

Piloting starship of latest design

Fascinating discoveries in view

Transforming as universe redefines

Unlocking galaxy’s intimate clues

 

Departing from mankind’s earthly cocoon

Reading Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon”

This poem has been crafted as a sonnet:  Note the four stanzas filled out  with 14 lines, each line contains a total of 10 syllables, and the consistent rhyming pattern connects every other line in each stanza.  It is doubtful that William Shakespeare ever considered designing a sonnet around this theme.  Renowned French writer Jules Verne published one of literature’s earliest science-fiction novels, From the Earth to the Moon, in 1865.
