Transcend

As the quiet of night slowly ends And the blue sky's veil lifts Majestic oak's leaves silhouetted In and out of sleep drift Winter wheat golden in the field Crops rippling in the breeze Harvesters have gathered to reap Soon job done with ease Into a red sunset they ride Leave the stubble behind Taking the good usable part All of its chaff declined Into life's sunset ride Come, go along my friend Leave worldly desires in the aft To a holy life transcend Transcend: transform, excel Written: July 31, 2015 Inspired by Shadow Hamilton's contest Nature Poems Only

As many of your writes that is about nature, this is a feel good poetry, Sarah. I love the "Leave the stubble behind". It relates with a biblical concept. A 7. PS. You might have meant "majestic" in V1 L3. hugs! Kim
