Here Comes the Light

Dawn
Lingers
Scattering
Violet and
Bluish shades of green
Across the limpid sky.

From craggy high cliff nests
Blue rock thrush emerge
To sing first notes
Of nature’s 
Morning 
Hymn.

Paul, this is a vividly painted picture of a serene "morning hymn." Every color builds to the conclusion and adds a nuance to the rising dawn - love "limpid sky." So creative. I feel like I have watched a sunrise through your well chosen words and wonderfully crafted lines! Congratulations for your win and blessings to you!

Such a beautiful morning to embrace. My favorite thought being "Violet and Bluish shades of green" because the color is simply breathtaking. I am wrapping your words softly around me. Because. :) Hugs, Brandy
