soft light wakes the earth
cackling laugh echoes the dawn
pale pink paints the sky
tangerine sunrise
sparks early bird serenade ~
vibrant melody
cotton candy sunrise
broken silence, crickets in love....
wonderful cool crispness
Tired from a long day of travel, she descends into the evening sleep.
Seeing upcoming rest from the soft, smooth ripples of the ocean.
Waving as she dives into the waters of color, only to emerge anew.
The quiet path becomes covered with darkness.
A sea of calmness only colors of the deep can see.
Small trickles appear in a quiet night; the only bright light a small friend.
She rises anew to say good morning; her refreshed light appears
Colors of the ocean are seen; brightness becomes all
The waves of the ocean are stretching for her alarm was sounding.
watching the sunrise
it's spark of amber glow
awakens nature
etching through valley
smoke puffs as train whistles
autumn sunrise glows
Within the sunrise,
You are already stroking my heart,
And I touch the breast of the sun.
Ah, how breathtakingly beautiful.
Yesterday, together with the sun and the moon,
We held and touched each other in turn.
As we shared our steak,
I pressed sweetness upon your lips with one hand,
And with the other, you poured sweet warmth into my soul.
Toward our target,
Along with the rolling waves,
We smile at one another
And laugh together.
The sound of waves echoing from afar
Now swells and breaks through the joining of our hands.
My heart,
Your heart.
Whether asleep or awake,
Together, we crash like the eternal waves.

lake of ash
tears like cheery blooms
drowning in a lake of ash
you are the sunrise
petals rise from water grave
hope breathes through golden seams
Walking all night
Upon the wave-kissed sands of the seashore,
Beneath the twinkling stars,
Through the silvery aerial veil
Of a waning moon,
Until the sun began to rise
From the lap of distant crimson waves,
Ascending
Into the enchanted sky,
Strewn with purple clouds.
The ocean halts,
Transforming into a mirror
To reflect the colours of dawn
Across its wine-red waves
The sun becomes a pupil
Within the indigo eye of dawn.
The sea seems like a lower lash,
The sky the upper one,
Adorned with scattered hued clouds.
Sublime!
Perhaps a glimpse of the Big Bang...
Or a corner of Heaven...
Eternity in every moment...!!
I greet each day with hopeful wonder
AP: 1st place 2026
A blossom greets me in early morning
AP: 1st place 2026
blazing crimson sky
emerges over ocean
boat pauses to gaze
A new day
The rise up
Blessing shown
A sight to see
My eyes and me
Yesterday that was
Today that is
Not a dream nor imagination
Planned for a reason and purpose
Inner soul deep down
New adventures to come
One can only imagine
One can truly satisfy
Mind to eye
What has been set up
Sunrise lesson
Understanding establishing concepts
Agenda’s carefully prepared
A day no one can miss
The sunrise being the refreshing moment
Expectations granted
The sunrise full of warmth to feel
The new day is real
Destiny upon
Sunrise among
Awaken and rise
Fully energized.
I long to ink the sunrise pink,
whilst heeling tall on sailboat deck.
I drink the blue impassioned drink.
I long to ink the sunrise pink,
Coerce the sun with brilliant wink,
Infuse the dawn with fluid peck.
I long to ink the sunrise pink,
whilst heeling tall on sailboat deck.
I quill whilst in a moment still,
I long to ink the sunrise pink,
capture shades of rapturous thrill.
I quill whilst in a moment still,
magentas petaled pleated frill,
floral painted in rosette-zinc.
I quill whilst in a moment still,
I long to ink the sunrise pink.
