Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Yellow

"The world is God's pure mirror clear to eyes when free from clouds within"Rumi

Yellow sunrise illuminates night sky
It chases darkness away to the west
Goldfinch sent in to feed by Adonai
Each morning, in so many ways, I'm blessed.

Yellow sun behind gray clouds, stillness looms
Will raindrops begin to fall 'pon the ground
Watering the garden, wash pollen, fumes
Clearing earth's air and all nature astound

No lemony peaks between the clouds' gray
There are no flaxen streaks within the blue
An eerie feel upon the air, dismays
Will unrestrained storm pass unhindered through  

Yellow sunrise seems to predict no rain.
Prayers do protect us, those storms detain

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 18, 2024 at 9:07 AM Dearest Sara, I loved how you beautifully captured the interplay between nature's elements and the spiritual realm. The scene of the yellow sunrise seems to symbolize the divine presence, illuminating the world with hope and blessings. Yet, amidst the beauty, I feel there's a sense of anticipation and uncertainty mirrored in the looming clouds and the potential for rain. I also liked how your poetic verses reflect the delicate balance between faith and apprehension and the power of prayer to shield us from life's storms. Like Rumi's words, your poem invites us to see the world as a reflection of the divine, guiding us through moments of both clarity and mystery. - Blessings, Daniel Sara Kendrick April 18, 2024 at 12:44 PM Why, thank you, Daniel, for the nice review of my work plus the blessings which I am needing about now. Life can issue out some bad circumstances to us, and sometimes we have to pray, tie a knot and hold on. Sara K

Sara Kendrick April 17, 2024 at 8:58 AM Yes, Victor, our daffodils, jonquils, and forsythia have already bloomed and the deep green of the leaves now shines. So many of the trees have finished up with their blooming. Now so many shades of spring green dot the woods which is so beautiful to me. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Tom Cunningham April 17, 2024 at 7:25 AM Winter fading away now Sara, brighter days are coming. Hope you're keeping well. Tom Sara Kendrick April 17, 2024 at 8:56 AM Yes, Tom, winter is basically gone from here. It is supposed to be in the eighties again today. We started off cloudy but the sun has appeared. I guess the rain chances has passed but still some of that eerie feeling like something is about to happen. Sara K
