Before Tomorrow
Dusk precipitates the dawn of another day
Time creates ever changing modes of nature
Inhabitants settle down for restoration
It calms the soul for new inspiration.
I too must rest and recuperate at the day’s end
Contemplating if nature will be generous
Images of true beauty flash within my mind
Slowly I drift off in somnolence, before tomorrow.
Shadows embark upon the trees and banks
Some shadows dance upon the ripples of the water
Flickering and glistening images blanket the pond.
Generating winds give rise for the night owls.
All is quiet early morn before the new horizon
Some light is perceived in the distance corner
Rays of sun light squeeze through the clouds
Dawn of nature is to awaken again.
What shall this day bring forth for pleasure?
Morning arrives with distant sounds of birds
Perceivable, one can establish some visions
Configurations and illustrations of beauty
Such glorified colors contribute to awe
Justifying the sensation of serenity and solace
Solidarity of the still environment about
Conjures the wonders of life’s force
Sleep well…..before tomorrow
