Morning light

Have you seen trees in morning light ?

A natural delight of spirit soars.

No thoughts intrude upon your mind

Just a secret moment that's yours. 

Breath will take pause, a smile will unfold

you'll learn the value of this.

Carry it with you through the the day

Who knows if tomorrow brings rain ?

Well said Terry. 

The best memories offered to man are usually free. They are usually captured in the blink of an eye.

Good advice in a compact well composed poem, Terry. I've been trying to take notice and enjoy the things around me that I may have overlooked in haste in the past.

I have time now due to being retired,  Haiku  Master  Basho is helping me  think pure, simple thoughts and then present them in Haiku form.  Pictographic  transating of the most ancient manuscripts, inscriptions and papyrus scrolls of semetic languages for the past five years has drawn me to pure and simple thoughts and writing.  Such as the poetry of Emily Dickinson.  Our English language is wordy. I find it difficult to minimize my speech to ' getting to the point ' The Greeks were the progenitors of endless yakking.  And as a result the western world was infected with this vocal  intellectualism. Incuding my self.  Oh well you can read all about this in my book in progress.
