As she lifts the veil

Awakening morning’s light

Freedom is given

Her flocks fly hurriedly by

Before darkness reigns again

Looking, not for gloom

I must seek the rising sun

Casting eyes upward

Knowing, I will find the light;

Warm comfort in these dark times

As sunbeams caress

Awakening majesty

With auras of hope

Sunna softens midnight skies

Kissing the day good morning

 

Authors Note: Sunna is the Norse Goddess of the Sun, also known as Sól, though some hold that Sól is the mother and Sunna Her daughter. (www.thaliatook.com)

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are Give and Shake.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Abandoning and Shudder.


As winter snow falls,

I shudder in the cold air,

Abandoning warmth.

Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,

Who dares to cling too tightly.

You cannot debate magic

When captivated, my dear
