At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,

The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down

On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.

Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,

Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light

Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal

This evening the blank, white page is open. My nerves are on edge, while a storm forms on the horizon.

Embrace that which comes with ease: The twinkling of an eye, The drumbeat of a heart, The blooming of a flower,

Hello Sunrise, with your red ball of fire, peeking over the horizon, leaving the clouds pink,

Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song

Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry

Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,

The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.

Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
