No one knew the name of this day;
Born quietly from deepest night,
It hid its face in light,
Demanded nothing for itself,
Opened out to offer each of us
A field of brightness that traveled ahead,
Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps
And the light of thought to show the way.
( from The Inner History of a Day by John O’Donohue)
Lovely words going with beautiful photos.
That poem is just wonderful…describes what I saw at dawn a couple of days ago.
Indeed. 🙂
Tiny….so powerfully refreshing…so beautiful! I walked up to see the sunrise this morning and it always warms my heart. To see your beautiful post made me smile…and feel good!! Have a super beautiful day! ❤
The early morning air, and light, is just so beautiful! Have a wonderful day too, Lorrie ❤

I love that poem, but did have new images for the first verse only 🙂 Thanks Nancy.
Ditto what NT said! Here’s to a brand new day.

I love John O’Donohue…beautiful words and images, perfectly paired!
I love his poetry too, and thought this verse could be illustrated by the photos I took at dawn the other day. Happy you liked the pairing, Susan.
Oh this is a great post! I knew it was from John O’Donohue when I read the first line. You beautifully put to it to “song” with your photos. 🙂 ❤
Happy you enjoyed the “music”, Natalie! It is an honor to try to illustrate his verse 🙂 ❤
Absolutely beautiful. You have a great talent!
Thanks Cecilia!
First of all, when I saw your title my first reaction was NO WAY! Stunned? Hugely! Secondly your images, Tiny, all have such depth and Love to them, as I appreciated each deeply along with the words to the poem you posted. Tremendous post, my friend, one that I spent much time with, just soaking all the Beauty that is here. Thank you! Love, Amy
I almost feel like I should keep silent, afraid to break the spell that has been cast by your stunning photos and the beautiful poem. Thank you, Tiny, for adding such loveliness to our lives.
Wonderful sky phots having beautiful colors.
