The above titled poem which follows came out of a conversation with a friend last night.
The gentle orange orb's rise
announces breaking day across the skies,
a welcoming song bids me awake
anticipates what's to come -
new hopes, old fears, Opportunity to take.
Reassuring rays caress my face
melting yesterday's cobwebs' embrace.
The glow seeps through and stains my insides,
warmth and security rise up
and beckon my smile like jazz melody.
Strange communion between
creature and creation, as the
sun's rise makes its declaration
provokes the soul ecstatic with
quiet joy of such union as
beauty is unveiled.
Midday malaise is interrupted
directed from its thronging way down
the ally of rest, just for a while.
Humanity comes together, we talk
and laugh and exchange - how strange,
Contentment reached as destination.
Diamonds arranged on jet black velvet
pulse pearlescent white from
the consuming expanse above.
Peering upward to vast array
becoming easily lost as a leaf
tossed to and fro by Autumn wind.
The Elegant Distants form their
constellations as if working together -
all the more my wonder.
Yet in the midst there is
mysterious calm and awe-laden peace which
whispers when I listen closely.
Memories - these on-going gems
transport and share themselves when contemplated,
all the more I yearn for them,
my memories of summer.
