A Regal Morning

Oh, regal morning.
Golden rays gleamed grateful skies. 
Pale blue heavens warmed.
Owls retired to their nests.
And dawn greeted a new day.

You have sketched a beautiful picturesque scene with the colors of golden rays coming out from gleamed grateful skies. It is like watching the landscape so powerful and full of energy. In many of my Photos and in some Photo Poems I too have tried to draw these colors. Great write my friend and thanks for your kind and touching comments on my Poem ' THE EARTH IS REALLY IN DANGER'. Our feelings for the affected people would definitely do well for them. Love & Best wishes...Ravindra. Dane Ann SJ
