California sky deep blue
With startling white clouds
Floating from here to infinity
Hills burnt brown with countless
Days of year-round sunshine
Now alive with velvet-like
Green growth brought to
Life by the kiss of heavens tears
Rolling hills with wind rippled
Undergrowth born anew by
Liquid touch
As off in the distance
Far mile upon mile
Ragged mountains range with
Snowy white crowns
Leaving one to wonder
If cloud topped
Or snow covered
Haze of the city washed
Clean by wind and rain
Giving vision,
So far as the
Eye can see
With crystal clarity
Let us hope that California's stars with mudslides and avalanches are over and that they burned over land can regrow a new crop of that beautiful California hillside, generally brown, but in the case of your poem, green with new growth.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
