Bliss State

Heaven has kissed the rolling hill
the ocean waves, and desert
an earthly token of goodwill
set sparrows to sing in concert.

A gentle touch awakes the morn
in shades of pomegranate
a fragile lipping, dawn is born
through the woods and cliffs of granite.

The globes caressed and embraced
as each denizen is delighted
for death is not a rendered grace
life is heaven, all are invited.

Debbie this is a very graceful walk through life's journey, I think the pomegranate tree is one of the most exciting things to seek they hang like globes of life and when the sun hits them they light like a ball of fire, wonderful to read your work again...David
