The Children's Hour

A pause within the day to breathe flowers 
is called the Children's Hour.  

Like the last brilliant star at sunrise. 

My eyes, brilliant as any sun
does not call you to depravity.

a Day broken as a first morning 
and song birds singing for grace
praise for the morning and praise all

fresh into a world in such turmoil.

Sweet new fawn born in briar 
and new buds of nature painting Earth
how exquisite Nature speaks to Hearts.

Mine is sunlight 
Mine is morning

and  how crazy we fall elated into 
confusion disregarding God's Creation.

Some beautiful images here, Ernest. I especially liked "fawn born in briar" since we had a fawn born in our backyard a few years back. Nice stuff here!
