Surrounded By Magnificence

the reds and purples of the sky have never looked as pretty
Charlotte stopped paddling to breathe in God’s beauty
He had outdone himself on today’s sunrise landscape
Colors straight from heaven, she imagined, it was inspiring

Her kayak stayed still, waiting patiently for her next move
the air was crisp and inviting this morning, walking her up
her heart gave a quick jump of excitement,
she was thrilled to be here, surrounded by this magnificence

Thank you God, she said, silently, as the others arrived
it is safer to travel in a group, yet she loved her solitude
today’s journey would be a meditation and an appreciation
Charlotte began greeting the others with nods

No one spoke, feeling reverent and hopeful.
This journey would revitalize and rejuvenate.
They were giving each other happy smiles
Ready, eager, and hopeful for a terrific trip.
