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
