I took a step
Into the cold
Where heavy
Shadows held
The quiet morning
In stillness-
One more step
And the motion
Of sunbeams
Began to light
The tiptop
Of the day-
A few more steps
Morning’s shadows
Were left behind
As affectionate
Sunlight reached
The ground below
And I walked
Into the day
Thankful for
The Love that
Creates the shade
While pushing
The darkness away

ebony and ivory
the white black key
mystery octave
flat ok
sharp so much
so i prefer
g or c key

beautifully written ; I felt something similar when day broke an hour ago but was too intent on reading my comments that I didn’t take time to linger ; your poem shows me what I missed —
