Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of rising sun

Magenta

As the early sun rises casting
Magenta upon the clouds
My heart's cherished enterprise
Is to feel the moment and be proud

The roosters crow down in the vale
Cindy meows close at hand
A grayness has settled 'pon the sky
Please don't in my heart land

Songbirds sing a soft sweet tune
They're still close and in demand
Do they know that cooler air is near?
Does God's plan they understand?

They don't worry nor do they fret
Each day there are bugs to fill
An empty stomach doesn't lack
Mankind has other needs so real

Mankind needs a relationship
Out of this world's busy life
A spiritual and emotional filling
One not based on human strife

The sun shines once again casting its
Illumination upon
Those dark clouds fluffy charcoal design
Wait, release raindrops, move on

Caren, If only all of mankind could come to a realization of this need and seek it out and let the Light in. Someday it will happen but probably not any time in the near future. Thanks for the kind review. Sara

Andrea, I am sure with some revisions it could be turned into a hymn of sorts. I feel that it came from the Holy Spirit and not myself. Thanks for your visit. Sara
