Another Jewel Sunrise
Pink inks of dawn glow
through a dissolving fog
lifting botanical shadows
alive with enchanting birds.
Rustling leaves
stir the world awake.
Over the horizon a bustling
city throbs,
a million or more people
going to their jobs,
missing this quiet solitude.
Radios thump. They drive
bumper to bumper,
eyes glued to the freeway.
Another jewel sunrise slips
right by them.

Thank you, John W. (Bill) Williams, for the following comment:
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem. How sad that this beauty of nature is so often unseen. It is so true that many people are too connected to the material world to appreciate God's creations.
