"Let Beauty Awake..."

good morning!! it occurred i havent blogged for a while, so thought will post this nice one i found. its a nice 'morning poem' to read.

(hmmm i know its been many postings since i scribbled something my own lol...myself waiting to experience again the moment of a poetic burst..but may be all your silent prayers to be spared were answered hahaha!)

anyways here's a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. i recommend u check out his poems...i came across his writings only of late and have been thoroughly enjoying his lines and thoughts..he seems to have a knack for laying bare in his own imitable refreshingly simple style, obvious truths we don't see in life. this one is by no means among his best, but as i said a beautiful piece to read in the morning :) have a beautiful day!

Let Beauty awake in the morning from beautiful dreams,
Beauty awake from rest!
Let Beauty awake
For Beauty's sake
In the hour when the birds awake in the brake
And the stars are bright in the west!

Let Beauty awake in the eve from the slumber of day,
Awake in the crimson eve!
In the day's dusk end
When the shades ascend,
Let her wake to the kiss of a tender friend
To render again and receive!
- Robert Louis Stevenson
