A Peaceful Beginning

I'm on front porch with cup in hand
As dawn begins to rise
I sip my java as I watch
The sun light up the skies

Distant mountains start to glow
When clouds refract the rays
Yellows, oranges, blues and reds
Paint atmospheric haze

My coffee is a gentle blend
That's mixed with morning breeze
The two combine with natures scent
To put my mind at ease

I love to watch a days new birth
It's way beyond compare
Except for when I watch it end
From back porch evening chair


Rockman   :-)

Rockman, I see you finished what I should have and your ending is beautiful. Sorry, I just couldn't get around the concept - I see so many others doing it but I guess my head turns to mud with trying. Lovely verse you penned.

You suggested nature. A favorite of mine. I created a picture. Put my self in it and followed where it took me. It doesn't always work that way for me. Sometimes I hear a line or think a thought that makes me tilt my head and I take it from there. I have many of those lines written down that I haven't done anything with. But I see them as seeds for future poems.
