softly, sun rises
dances across horizon
warm and comforting

sunrise on malibu beach
~ heartbeat longs for love

GENTLE VISITOR
"My eyes welcome the sunrise, that iris of fire so pretty in its mascara of pure light." Angela Abraham
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daylight, a gentle visitor,
stepped softly through the threshold of dawn.
It lingered there, a welcome guest,
dispelling shadows, chasing the night.
A lucid glow, a soft embrace,
illuminating every space.
The morning light, a calming grace,
bringing tranquility, filling the day with peace.
UP, and away I go, Hello Mexico!
It's my annual Vacation.
Those Frequent Flyer miles sure saved my Cash,
Except from Thirst and Starvation!
Round ended, Well blended, Senoritas,
There'd be no Fender I'd pass!
Mary Jane and Three more Margaritas,
AAH! It's Splendor in the Grass!
SOFTLY DAWNS THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daylight unwraps the hues of the world with an awakening magic. Early morning comes as a promise kept, bringing a sense of serenity, a peace that invited itself into my soul and made itself at home.
softly dawns the day
morning's gentle whispers sweet
summer's warmth awakes
tangelo sunrise
suggests day full of promise
lifting my spirits
Gladys woke with you beside the sea,
The dawn was whispering silently,
The mountains glowed with a golden flame,
And called the morning by your name.
The tide was breathing soft and slow,
Its silver secrets each only know,
The palms bent low as if they heard
The hush between each tender word.
The light unwrapped the sky in gold,
More precious than the pearls of old,
No jewel could match this moment’s grace,
Nor treasure shine like your dear face.
The sunrise burned, the world grew wide,
But all its splendor stayed inside,
Where love was brighter than the swirls,
Of sea and dawn, beyond the pearls.
in dawn’s solitude
scarlet rays strip night away . . .
bleeding heart buds bloom
a dark sky brightens
as a bright gold orb rises~
breathtaking sunrise
morn's gilded sunrise
yawns in cerulean skies ~
gleaming o'er the sea
rising on the sea
watching the sun through the rain
a rainbow appears
sky soaks sunrise hues
gleamed sequins gild the meadow…
golden sunflowers
purple sunrise dawns
ripples on a mountain lake
lap against the shore
CRIMSON SUNRISE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
crimson, scarlet, rose
sunrise hues slowly ascend
morning’s gentle start
rays of fiery gold
morning’s warmth upon my face
summer’s gentle grace
