Redwood Ride

Redwood Ride I rise, I rise, on a redwood ride, Pages dropping aflutter; Clouds cloaking, angels singing Filling the air with ethereal joy! Through wings of winsome warblers, I rise, Through showers of diamond drops, I rise, On their way to dress diamond lakes. No weight of worries, light and free. The horizon hides and falls away; Colors stripe as soft as a babe’s blanket; Clouds cuddle against the cool night; Woes of the world have taken flight. Come with me on a redwood ride. (While dozing on the deck.)

What a tranquil spot you paint, just lovely :-) I never thought of the 'diamond shapes before, you are so right, they Do have that pattern :-) The title is sublime. This has a little melodic feel, or maybe that's just me 'lost' in this beautiful place...or just plain 'lost'..lol A wonderful poem, a great pleasure to read. blessings, lynn

I live in what is called the diamond lakes area because I am surrounded by 5 giant lakes. I certainly like how you used your imagination and could imagine myself dozing on your dock, seeing all those lovely sights, Sunlite. Dozing is my favorite pasttime! Lol

Thank you. There is a lake nearby and it does look like at times that diamonds are dancing on it.
