Renewal, is the topic this week at Writer's Island. This photo I took in our garden this weekend, of a leafy shadow cast on the morning glory, inspired me to write this. Can you see the heart?
Every morning,
my world is reborn.
A chance for renewal
of the vows
my heart made
to my soul
in the dark,
the night before -
Today I'll be
a better me;
there will be less
of this and this,
and of that and that -
there will
be more...
Though,
as the day wears on,
I may do this,
and hardly do that - still
what glory it is,
each night that
my heart vows renewal,
that with each dawn
my world is reborn
Find 'Renewal,' at Writer's Island, this week.
I read this poem, as if a prayer. to be reborn renewed each day.

This is like a prayer, and could be said daily.
I love "the vows my heart made to my soul in the dark the night before.."
Beautiful poetry and photo.

I always end up breaking those vows, though.

i think i need to begin this ritual.. it seems as tho it would give cause for living each day ,, instead of just existing thru them all... very excellent!!

A beautiful prayer of forgiveness of self and the acknowledgment that every day is another chance for renewal.

Lovely Poem, I really love that one passage
"Today I'll be
a better me;
there will be less
of this and this,
and of that and that -" I think that is how I like to live. Thanks,
Kate

Yes I see the heart...it is just beautiful...and the new chance we each get every day to be "a better me"
was penned so soulfully by you.
Thank you!

I totally relate to the feeling of being reborn every morning ... sit up and plan ahead the day ... even if not much comes of it ... still we're presented new opportunities each day ... I'd like to think that the heart shape is the morning glory's way of telling us I love you ... wouldn't that be nice!

Absolutely beautiful Tinker. Thank you.

"vows my heart made to my soul in the dark"....WOW. And the morning glory heart is the perfect accompanyment. What a hopeful, serene poem. Hope and serenity are two of my newest affirmations - thanks for the reinforcement.

Dear Tinker,
Your words bring such wisdom that tears come to my eyes. Each day a reinvention and renewal of life.
Yes, I do see the heart in the morning glory! It is one of the pretties and most delicate flowers.

in my life
i have found
that
those
who find hearts every where they turn
are those
who have tons of heart already.
:-)
that speaks well of you,
i think...
