Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Through Rose Colored Glasses

I wake at the ascension of a golden dawn
to meditate on early morning's mystique
To the amber shoreline, I'm always drawn
It's serenity and tranquility that I seek

How calm the lake's water without a ripple
On a sheet of glass, is my mirrored reflection
I seek its tranquil comfort as a babe, a nipple
To me, this is a moment of sheer perfection

It's hope of a budded flower before it blooms
In solitude, I peer through rose-colored glasses
I feel no dread about what in darkness looms
but too soon, my Pollyanna moment passes

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 24, 2024 at 8:02 AM Dear Lin, I love the celebration of the beauty and comfort found in brief moments of natural serenity. I like that you acknowledge their transient nature, which in turn brings its own beauty. Don't you just love Nature!! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Lin Lane July 24, 2024 at 8:48 AM Thank you so much for your ever gracious comments, Daniel. I DO love nature and appreciate the smallest things that many overlook or take for granted.

Paula Goldsmith July 23, 2024 at 1:23 PM What a lovely write for a lovely picture. I wish I was on your pretty beach. Walking the sand looking for seashells. I enjoyed the old Pollyanna movie. Have a wonderful day writing away..................... Lin Lane July 24, 2024 at 8:46 AM Thanks a bunch, Paula. Have yourself a great day, too.

Jay Narain July 23, 2024 at 10:19 AM Nice poem Lin. We need those glassees for clear vision of life. Lin Lane July 23, 2024 at 10:35 AM Perhaps only momentarily, Jay. Sooner or later, we have to face reality. Thank you.

Deb M July 23, 2024 at 8:19 AM An excellent Poem lovely Lin….sometimes we need those rose coloured glasses to stay sane if only for a temporary moment! Debx Lin Lane July 23, 2024 at 10:36 AM Thank you for reading me, sweet sister poet. They must only be worn at the darkest of moments or we may be tempted to really think like Pollyana.
