Sunrise

As the sun slowly crests the horizon
Life stirs, the world awakens
You can feel the earth move beneath your feet
As if slow rhythmic breathing
And as you lay your ear to the ground
You can almost hear a faint heartbeat
It is then you feel one with the earth
As you surrender to the peace of the morning

Hi Macduff5,

Had to read Wordsworth's "Upon Westminster Bridge". It is an honour to be put in the same sentence as one so great as Wordsworth. Thanks for the comment.

cheers

Thanks mcradloff for the comment ... however I would suggest that you do not put your ear to the ground as this might cause it to be frozen and then drop off ... if this was the case you might have to give up poetry and take up painting ... and please don't send your ear to anyone.
