Notes About The Poem

Dawning In the Garden of Time

Landscape is it’s most persuasive at dawn.
An unpainted garden where phrases of light 
linger in a shadowy silence 
visions for a new day 
between rose shades
All is new again.

We never have enough time. Always flashing in front of and behind us are the past and present. We can only control the present moment while looking forward with aspirations and desires and attempting to figure out how to get there. Hanging around outside and taking in the limitless, everlasting, and immortal beauty of nature, it never goes in vain and imprints beauty on the psyche. Painting in harmony with nature allows us to express our ideas and creativity, which slows down time and makes the moments of our lives more meaningful.

What a wonderful comment, Noel: I know when I am creating and there in the moment- time stands still for me. How fortunate we have discovered that appreciation for beauty. Have a fantastic rest of the week. SuZ

Wonderful! Never heard before dawn expressed so beautifully~spiritually. "Landscape is it’s most persuasive at dawn. An unpainted garden where phrases of light linger in a shadowy silence visions for a new day between rose shades All is new again." Outstanding!

Reading this gem, i feel the words to burst open, the day from the shows of night, then the rose as the light touches her. Love this Suzanne, truly is a beautiful poem.
