I knew I would find it somewhere
~
I drifted past the sunset
where horizons make their place
Imaginary lineage
that artists love to trace
I saw the world illumined
in a shade of tangerine
Beyond the treelined silhouette
and shadows in between
I scaled a distant mountain
that was massive in its size
Where I could taste the altitude
amidst blueberry skies
When then I saw a sparrow
as it flitted on the wing
And followed it, just listening
in hopes that it would sing
It took me down a pathway,
round the bend and every turn
Then rested in an olive tree
beside a river fern
I bid farewell and strolled along,
directions heading west
For this I hoped would lead me too
my early morning quest
A squirrel danced above me
in the branches of the trees,
A firefly then floated by,
like surfing on the breeze
I watched in endless wonder
as the world about me turned
Took little notes in scribbled thoughts
of all that I had learned
When up ahead I see a spark,
a tiny orb of gold
As half a day had come and gone,
if every truth be told
It seems I've found my treasure,
there it sits before my eyes
The one thing I've been searching for,
a beautiful sunrise
Good morning, Soupers
