Impressionist Sunrise
The soft yellow glow over the green and blue ocean
An orange sphere, unmistakably the rising sun
A world of color lost at sea
Silhouettes of boats and fishermen
Leave the docks to bring in today's catch
Schools of fish are seen down below
Just out of sight of searching fishermen
All as the sun rises over the bay
Reflecting off of the ocean of color
And bringing light to a new day
Woman in the Garden
Walking, thinking, even speaking to herself
Listening to the whispers of the flowers
And the secrets of the trees
The white angel, beautifully clothed in snowy purity
Casts a shadow of sinfully scandalous darkness
And as she walks through the protective trees
She shares her own thoughts
Her own secrets with them
And the trees listen take in her secret
Adding another to their number
What a great contrast in the second piece of the woman's snowy, pure appearance and the shadowy secrets she walks with...
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the line in the first piece: "a world of color lost at sea." Lovely.
