The Promise of Today

stars revere the rising sun and bow out of sight,
                     refractory shadows lift, revealing rays of light,

                     illuminating, misty, ruffled, canopies on trees,
               rippling waters humming, in the gentle morning breeze,

                     sacred song birds, fill the air, in a choral litany,
                beneath a dome, a colorful horizon, splattered vividly.

Terrell Martin Date: 7/30/2022 8:10:00 PM Paulette, I admire your ability to describe so much beauty, so eloquently in only three stanzas and six lines. I ramble in my writing while you synthesize succinctly. That's what I call a gift. Thanks for the pick me up.
