Painted Picture

beauty comes with the rising dawn
    paradise found I will look upon

    cradled in sunlight once bathed in starlight
    as it enters in silence
    and leaves the moon behind

I welcome a world of unfettered technicolor
that washes across the eyes of my soul in unfiltered light
spontaneously spreading warm lavished color
of a azure blue sky and different greens of the meadow
that hang like a painting in the window of my room
as I am awaken by the sound of mourning doves
sounding the alarm of bellowing white clouds
with deep dark edges of developing thunderheads
which will spill rain upon the landscape
and leave peppled raindrops on my windowpane
that once held the frost of Winter
as its snow covered the ground like a tightly held blanket
giving reason for Nature to be seen as a breathing living thing
of wondrous beauty

           the morning rises
           as eyes welcome paradise
           life begins anew
