our sun rising through cotton candy sky
dew drops glistening along blades of grass
birds announcing the arrival of a new day
- Oh the beauty of an earthen morn!
white puffs peppering the cerulean sky
sunflowers heads seeking the light
bees dancing their way from bloom to bloom
- Oh the beauty of an earthen noon!
sunset masterpiece fading to periwinkle
wind whispering a lullaby
rabbits grabbing grass mouthful by mouthful
-Oh the beauty of an earthen twilight!
blackness glittering with infinite stars
fireflies decorating with yellow bursts of light
rest filling the moments with silence
-Oh, the beauty of an earthen night!
Filling my rising to my rest with your beauty,
thank you Earth.
This poem was written to a prompt from Solace and Connection by Leigh Anne Eck, http://adayinthelifeof19b.blogspot.com/2023/04/solace-connection-4.html to write a poem about the beauty of the earth. I tried to capture the small bits of beauty that fill my days. I am so grateful that moments of beauty exist all day long.
lovely visuals
ReplyDeleteI love how your repeated lines take us through your day and how the last line wraps it all up from rising to rest! Lovely imagery.
