Notes About The Poem

Surround Sound

As the sun tinges the horizon
A pale shade of rose
Beauty touches the slate gray sky
White canvas painted exposed

Surround sound of Dove's voices
Coos echo on all sides
Roosters' fill in the deep bass sound
Mockingbirds' tone abides

All song birds in chorus sing out
on this still quiet morn
Melodies lift above trials
As the Doves' song is born  

There's that stillness saying wait
Rest before one of life's storms
The Holy Spirit does comfort
In my heart there's His form

No matter what life's trials present
The Comforter is there
Like the assurance of a daily
Sunrise no need to despair

As the orange sun glows like embers
Through the silhouetted trees
Thoughts run to the Savior's anguish
Who did so much for me

He made this awesome provision
The gift of the Comforter
Just reach out and touch the Savior
He's the great Affirmer

There is so much to admire in this poem, Sara -- your faith, your love for nature and the way you find happiness each morning. Wish everyone could find this type hope when the sun rises. Such a beautiful poem! (Back from Sea World - right foot was run over by a wheelchair. Hobbling now.) Hope Tommy and the rest of your family are doing well. Love and blessings to you on this Sunday morning, Carolyn

This is interesting, the way it unfolds, from the winged little angels in the sky to the Christ in the heavens. Well penned.
