Day and Night

A fiery ball shines on the lake
as the sun takes her rise.
Over the mountain, daylight breaks.
A beauteous sight for our eyes.

Silently, the twilight creeps
over the mountain, across the lake.
Beckoning day to go to sleep 
'til sun proclaims it time to wake.

Day by day, week by week.
Seasons in and seasons out.
Of each other, there's just a peak.
As sun and moon journey about.

And so it goes , on and on.
Day chases night, night chases dawn.

Your poems take me on a journey. In each line beautiful imagery is painted in a single stroke. Truly a delight to read.

How I love the thought in this Francine; it revolves in my mind such profound yet simple imagery that gives the reader a sense of tranquillity. P S - I didn't know my book was an e book and on the site you mentioned. Thanks for your support darling. Luv, Elizabeth
