#14 of 19 - Topic Suggested By Edmund Hubard

 

I had to smile when I saw this topic

It's one of my favorite things

Not much on this earth in my opinion can top it

So many qualities of life that it brings

Changing beauty, renewing hope

The promise of a new day

Redemptive value of starting over

God's handiwork on display

I've seen the majesty of the mountains

A snow capped covered hill

Lights in the city with splendid fountains

Will delight, captivate and fulfill

But I've never felt so close to God

As when I smile and open my eyes

To look upon the ocean east

And gaze on the glorious sunrise

The sun was bright pink as I reached the top of the hill and started down the other side. It was a glorious sunset, the sun centered in the middle of the glowing pink skyline.
Yet the sunrise, as you describe, adds the wonder of a new day to start anew, thankful for God's renewing grace. As you write, "Changing beauty, renewing hope."
Thanks for the inspiration! 19 new beginnings will come smoothly for you, I'm sure.

Not living on the east coast or on an island, I've seen very few sunrises over the ocean. But I have seen sunrises, and they can be as inspiring as your poem.

One of your best. I feel the most spiritual in nature. For me waterfalls are special.

Thank you both! You are so kind. David, I've actually been on the Bear Tooth. I lived in Montana for 10 years.

Well done again and again! Just like the sunrise, you spring up with bright poetic words and make the audience smile. Splendid!

Splendid job on this one. In all my travels, I believe the majesty of the mountains is my favorite, especially the Bear Tooth Highway. A close second would be the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park. I visited the West, and I fell in love with it, so I had to go back five more times. Sorry...you got me carried away, thinking about my travels. Glad to see you are in touch with God.
