Just Another Colorful day


                                                              Just another Colorful Day  
                          
                                               As the radiant sun emerges beyond a faded
                                               black shroud
                                               
                                               The horizon turns quiescent then emanated
                                                ultra bright yellow.

                                               A flock of birds effortlessly maneuver below
                                               a speeding silver cloud

                                               Settled on a branch with white wings folded
                                               eyeing a lush green meadow.

Hi Anselmo, Congrats on POTW! The way you balanced the quick movement of the clouds with the stillness of the bird watching the meadow gives the whole scene a really wonderful, poised quality. It sounds like a perfect, quiet start to the day. Autumn Blessings, Anselmo, Daniel
