Sand Colored Sunrise

Clear sand colored sunrise
Against gray sky blue skies
What can I learn from this
Green trees are just black shilouettes


Each species a different shape
They just stand and feed
From the nutrients provided
Drawing carbon dioxide and release

Oxygen on which all animals depend
These trees don't struggle, cry
They just abide in place
Different from one another

But stand close each receiving
What they need from the earth
And from the air

It is pleasantly cool today
Air is crisp dry and just
Barely moving 
Days like this are glorious

Hear crows, roosters, dogs
And man made equipment
Breathe deeply of the oxygenated air
Thanks for this time 

Maximilianii sunflowers are in  full bloom
Over night they opened
What a surprise
They are just beautiful against 
The sand colored sunrise

There are five tomatoes turning 
On the topsy turvy tomato plant
The cats come to join me
They want my attention

Just a pat or two will do
They want to be fed
Responsibility calls so I must go
Thank you God for the quiet time alone with you

What a perfect day you describe, Sara! Your poem is so in tune with nature's gifts and beauty. I'm still out of town helping family, but stopped by to see my friends. Love, Carolyn
