Hello RG... thank you so much for your lovely comments! I am not too adept at writing FV, but thought I would give it a try. :)

Comment from Debbie Pope
Okay. Maybe meter and tankas are not your specialty after all. This free verse is lovely. You seem to think and see life as a poet. With this poem, you put me in that lavender twilight. I can hear the nightingales. Your words are peaceful and promising. The overall effect is enhanced by the lack of meter and rhyme. Your poem just ambles.
I love it! You can do it all. I am so glad that you discovered your gift 4 years ago.

Debbie, thank you so much for your wonderful words of encouragement. I have always struggled with writing FV and usually stick with meter (I guess that is why I love the FS meter class so much), but I thought I should try to stretch a little. I so appreciate you and your support of my writing. I always cherish your take on my work :). Thank you.

This is a beautifully illustrated Melissa, the mercy's of God come again at the dawning of each new day, in Lamentations 3:23. But you've written this so beautifully written, this is a gem. Well done, blessings Roy.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The artwork is stunning, and I love the last two lines that say, the eternal promise, night always turns into day.
The poem expresses hope that God will watch over everyone and bring on the good things in life and as such, this is an inspiring piece. And we can count on night turning into the day with a beautiful dawn. Glorious colors abound for everyone to enjoy.
Best wishes for a lovely Sunday,
Jesse

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I miss the song of the nightingale and yearn to hear sweet music again. Your words reminded me of the gentle twittering here, the dawn chorus has a pleasing sound. A fine, skilfully written free-verse Melissa, love Dolly x

Comment from juliaSjames
Your lovely lines flow sweetly as the nightingale's song, dear Melissa. There is a quality of acceptance in this write. Come what may, even if sometimes one is wakeful and time passes slowly in those wee small hours, the light will dawn. Similarly, troubles pass.
Beautiful work. Best of luck in the contest.
Stay safe and blessed

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I like the positive message this poem carries. Yes. This is always hope. This poem uses descriptive language to paint the coming of the colorful dawn which announces the day has begun.
Well done and good luck.
