What a beautiful poem, Trudi. I particularly liked the last verse and felt as I was reading it that I was reading a poem by Emily Dickinson because of the way it makes something that could be classified as an ordinary, everyday event quite extraordinary in that it imbues it with heavenly significance.

Today I saw the sunrise

Saw the sky as part of me

Felt the threads of a connection

In one moment, eternity

Don’t tell Trudi, but I wish I had written it. That’s how I know it’s good.

Thank you, Simone. I felt something shift this morning as I watched the sunrise. More hopeful than I've felt in a long time!

your poem made me remember the sunrise of yesterday while I sat by the porch just watching and uncaring it damages my skin. This is so gorgeous Trudi. As always, you are absolutely amazing.♥️

Hi, Trudi. Thank you for your poem. I watch the sunrise every day, whenever the weather permits. I get up early just to see it. I think it’s a magical moment, a metaphor for life, as if each sunrise represented yet another opportunity we have.

It’s one of the elements of what I call the “Universal Web,” which I describe in this poem

I love seeing the sunrise, too Rolando. I don't see it every day as often it has been cloudy, but today's was spectacular!✨
