African Dawn

Your glory touches Silhouetted trees That stand tall to Embrace your scarlet sky. The quiet, broken by The birds in song As crimson clouds Silently drift by. The heat of summer Warms the morning air. Temperatures will soar As you ascend; A sequel to your Fire rising high . . . Leaving creatures Breathless in the wind.

Breathtakingly beautiful Connie :-) The feel of this is complete calm. Your words transport me to its stunning tranquility. I feel to be still to absorb all it offers. a fave, 7+ lynnxxx maybe repost so others can share in the 'experience'.:-) it is a beauty. I have never been but it is a 'bucket list' destination for sure.

Thank you so much Lynn. It probably did not get many views because at the time my granddaughter was so young that I did not have much time to reply to poetry. Maybe I will post this again closer to summer. Thank you so much for the fave and for your nice words. They are very much appreciated. xxoo Easter blessings, Connie ; )

What lovely imagery, Connie! I can feel the rising heat as I read your words. It can get unbearable over here, too, when we get heat waves in summer. [decided to have a look at one of your earlier post:)] Regards // paul

G'day Connie... Your poem reminded me so much of a sunset when I camped in the outback beside a road where I took a photo of a silhoetted gum tree with a blood red sky in the background. Like in your poem it can be fiery hot. Thanks for the memory Connie - Lindsay
