Beyond Dawn

Striated colorful clouds
Upon the horizon
Cobalt blue, pink, and sand exposed
Swallows dance come on

The Swallows fled when filled with bugs
And the sun flows bright red
Buzzards begin their journey out
To feast on something dead

The wispy clouds, fanbrushed wide
Add laughter to the blue
A still cool dampness caresses
Birds sing and not a few

Just a short time out on the porch
Enjoying the new dawn
Thank you God for this day's offering
Of communication

Dear Sara, You always create such beautiful poems when you draw inspiration from nature's beauty as seen from your porch. Awesome! (And, yes, "ation" or "tion" make for easy rhymes.) Love, Carolyn
