Dawn kick-starts the day delightfully assaulting the senses with a conflation of lambent colors and shapes Unfolding slowly changing with each moment The rising sun pushing back remnants of night’s darkness reflecting its image in the mirrored lake Heralding what is to come
Walking in late afternoon shadows I see the Sun’s golden rays shooting arrows through heavily laden boughs of lush green foliage Streaking Laser beams Piercing the forest floor Spanish moss hanging in dreadlocks on ancient oaks mysterious and beckoning The light and dark playing tricks with the eyes as I am lured by the beauty Exquisite Stunning in its glimmering glory
Bjorn is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us to write a list to help with our poetry. I am always inspired by nature and my list was created by the things I find beautiful.
The sounds of skylarks and curlews break the stillness of the morning The sensory architect already at work A fading moon compromises giving way to the sun dawning
Mist suspended over water waiting for warmth to dissipate The rocks are bathed clean Gulls squawking in salty air A traveling east wind invigorates
On a white capped speckled sea Fisher boats already far from view Night time now held to ransom for the day is center stage adorned in its morning hue
