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.

Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI really love this poem, people are so busy with whatever they are doing that they miss the simple beauty of nature's phenomena.
Best wishes,
Inge
loved this thoughtful piece - sadly, so very true
ReplyDeleteIt is so true SuZ. A lot of my poetry comes from driving in my car and observing the beauty of the clouds and the surrounding flowering trees of these islands. It has so much to offer the discerning eye. Congratulations on having this lovely poem as and Archive Selection. I was mesmerized!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you and your family. Love and Aloha, Connie : )xxoo
