Lulled to Quietness
Dawn
peeks and kisses the morning sun
clouds
hang suspended from heaven
the
wind takes a breath and gently blows
sunlight
dances creating silhouettes
as
shadows slowly meander by
emerald
leaves covered with cool mist
awaken
to the amber rays
high
tide with its foaming jealousy
swoops
across the weeping shores
pounding
waves roll in hypnotic beats
white
sand calms and dries the tears
all
lulled into serenity.

ReplyDeleteI loved the word painted scenery in this gem from the title all the way through, from "lulled to Quietness" to white sand calms and dries tears, lulled into serenity. Very good Phyllis.
