My Abhanga is in praise of a new day and is inspired by the video below. The song by Imogen Heap, Xizi She Knows is in praise of the dawn and shows a city waking to a new day. The old man doing Ti Chi at the beginning and the older lady who throws her arms wide and screams her greeting to the dawn, (just before the shot of people throwing leaves off of a bridge) and the man with the gold flag are the shots that truly lift my soul.The whole video is a joyful greeting to the day.
In praise of the New Day.
We greet the new morning Full of bright new promise Energy slow release A brand new day.
Time stands frozen and still A city wakes, eyes wide Roads are filled, rivers plied Worship the sun
Collars turned to the cold Hats and gloves combat chills Birds fill the air with trills Covered in frost.
Another chance to breathe God give us a new day And a push on our way Praise be, thank you.
Please use the above haiku to inspire your own syllabic poetry. There’s a lot to unpack in these words. What will your interpretation be? Go where the words take you.
A Sliver Of silver. A ray of hope Night shades wrapped and cloaked. Dawn dancing on her way With stealth she starts a new day Silver and gold look glorious Bright skirts swirling around, hope for us. Secretly ringing the changes of life.
Ava opened her eyes and looked to the horizon, her bones ached , sleeping in the car was not good for anyone. The view that greeted her lifted her spirits. The dawn was creeping in from the horizon. Violet in hue , gold tinged it gave the road and the tree line a magical feel.
Rubbing her eyes Ava promised herself she would never,ever sleep in the car again. Taking a moment she stepped out of the car and stretched, the sky was hypnotic it called her and she was too tired to argue . Moving round the car she stood and breathed in the raw morning air as she drank in the dawn sky.
Thinking of home she had the urge to get back to James and his comfy bed and hot lips. She turned back to the car only to be frozen in the lights of the huge lorry. She had no where to go the truck took her off the road and threw her back down with a thud before flattening the life out of her.
Looking down at her battered and bashed body Ava thought what a shame she would not taste James again…………… she turned and walked up into the violet sky towards the golden opening.
The truck driver felt the bang, he had not seen her but he was so shocked to find her under his wheels. He looked up into the violet and golden dawn, he thought he could see something in the clouds, just for a second. He looked at the sky and then pulled out his phone and dialed 999 knowing as he did it was already too late.
Peace before another day has begun.
Two feet and four paws move in tandem
This path is ours we know it well
Fate has us together yet it is not random
Two feet, four paws breaking the dawn’s spell.
Gently we cross the fields of green
Four paws faster than two feet
In the early morning quiet we are seen
Together and happy we are complete.
