Smell the dawn through breaths of air
Walking past these waters where
Quietly the healing night
Opens up with morning light.

There is something incredibly comforting about the early morning. It’s the hope of a brand new day, but the world is still asleep so it’s also quite peaceful. Just lovely, Frank.

how true to be reminded that a night can help bring comfort to a trouble from waking hours. when I was younger we had mist cover the morning too, walking to school was an adventure. something very comforting about the scent of breath mingling with the morning air Frank, that was a precious part of your poem today.

Smells as Flavors
of Tastes And Emotions Deep..
i would have Loved to Have Spent
Some Links with this dVerse Prompt
After Just Writing About Smell in another
Place A ‘Wrong Planet’ in some ways distant
from Poetry Land as Reason Land and Not but
How Much More i Appreciate Smells and Flavors
And Emotions Associated with Smells and Tastes
After Losing that to a Common Cold in Spring of 2017..
Funny how the Losses in Dark make Life Smell and Taste
So Much better
When Light
Recovers
Now from
Dark.. i’m so Happy
for i’ve Lost all Five Senses
And Feelings of Life and
Now the Little
Things
i used
to take for Granted
Like Sight and Hearing and
Touch and Taste and Smell and
the Proprioception I Never Had before
And Most oF aLL the Smell of Love that comprises
the dARk and LiGHT oF aLL Feelings and Senses more..
True.. Life Smells Good When Life Even Smells aT All To See..
But ‘Tween the Dead of Smell the other Senses and Feels of Life Flourished more..
i find it Harder
And Harder
to: See
Dark
As Any
Less Than Light Smells Good.. From:
SMiles.. Frank.. Enjoy the FLoWeRS..:)
