That first glimpse of purple in the gloaming As dawn softly rises in morning skies Ascending along with nature's colors Is a look of faith and hope in thine eyes. Wrapped in the rays of sun's glorious hues; There dwells a calm that instills peace and love With a passion that enters every cell In divine grace that shines light from above. Meditate to serene silent music As the melody of birds sing along. Elated at the birth of the morning They share delight in their sweet varied song. Open your heart to passions of others... Feel with the empathy God has bestowed. Then you will know the true meaning of life In the receiving back of blessings sowed. 9-25-17 rev.

A beautiful pen Connie. It settles softly on the soul :) empathy I do believe is the key to true happiness in this life, the lack there of undoubtably the cause of so much strife. Wonderful, thank you for leading me here. xomo!

I took a picture almost just like this in Montauk New York. It was such a beautiful purple and orange sky. And yours is beautiful and your work is absolutely calming and speaking to my soul.
