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

Perhaps only momentarily, Jay. Sooner or later, we have to face reality. Thank you.

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.
