Notes About The Poem

Time We Are Given

Inspired by photo:

The sun rises like a golden medallion
Turning water into a glowing scene
The smooth green hills welcome open space
Where freedom is found on the slopes
To flee, to run, with open arms to warmth
Wonder rises on the horizon 
Taken in by the mind, willing to dream
Of all new beginnings, regardless of falling times
In a life that rolls like the hills, rises like the mountains
In a distant view selectively captured
By willingness to welcome new days
As opportunities of hope and transition
Embraced in the time we are given
