Unnoticed beauty


Poem Artwork

 

 

The  moon slowly wanes
to make room for a new day

While it lessens, a brilliant orange

kisses the desert sky, purples, reds

and grays come to join in.

In the distance, a rooster cries to welcome
the new day.  The sunrise now disappears
over the horizon.  It succumbs to the bright light of day. 

The brilliant sun now rules

the earth.


Looking at the picture I have seen before me.

A miraculous sight.

And I know I have just seen the face of God.

That pic would make a wonderful oil painting and I wish we had such beautiful sunsets and sunrises as you are blessed with. Anything God does shows His beauty and face in it.

Living in El Paso I'm witness to some of the most beautiful sunsets on this planet and feel blessed indeed. Well Done! Deborah

Beautiful. You carried me back to the farm and early morning when we woke up with the rooster's crowing. Love your description of the rising sun.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
