The Lonely Time Poem by Barry Middleton

The Lonely Time

Rating: 4.6


I cherish early morning,
the lonely time.

To wait and watch the glow,
almost sublime,

rising into the night
until the hour

of sleepy tousled sunrise
and its power.

Morning nurtures hope
lifting the pall

of raveled darker times
that I recall.

Morning is comfort's muse,
the world anew,

and I alone in it
till dawn breaks through.

You make a telling point here. The pre-dawn darkness is always a peaceful time, but the day may bring conflicts and trouble. Solitude is everything. I like the photo a lot.

Exactly! Once the sun is up noise and reality set in but sunrise itself is hope.

As the lonely man cries for his better half. A crock sometimes in this post modern world.
