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

Lin, you describe the scene with such tenderness. It's a wonderful talent you have. You insight into how we feel things makes a good read and makes me smile inside.

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

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.

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.....................
