Rising Thoughts - Collab With Jo

High alpine meadows are dusted with wildflowers,
And the faraway horizon is outlined with craggy mountain peaks,
Half-asleep lights blink through the sun-painted mist,
The sunrays dip at varying angles and intensities,
creating mixed moods and mysteries ~
It feels good to be up at dawn.


Deep blood red orange clouds ethereal dream float, 
Satin wind carrier of luscious mint green hymnody’s deft transport, 
Spring hues loiter in between  gray peeled branches, 
Chirpy echo squeak from red-wing blackbird a fragile threshold, 
Golden stream gurgle under marsh reeds ~ 
Evanescent saline grain haze


Azure ocean tide aroused from still wave slumber, 
Clamshell pearl strewn oyster oddments interspersed on pockmark sandstone beach,  
Iridescent canopy of nature trail,
Awaits the first blush pilgrim who revels in lavish glimpses,
And sumptuous earworm madrigal ~
A tantalizing world so close
