Waking early
before the sun,
I’m greeted by
pastel mares’ tails
drifting across the
brightening sky.
They deepen to rose,
announcing presence
of the fiery orb
hiding beneath the
purple horizon.
First a peek,
then a dome,
in steady progress,
the faithful sun
ascends to rule
another day.
You are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.2 Sam. 22:29

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.

Wonderful. Here, you have shown silence, peacefulness, color and then brightness in your free verse. I can see the sun rising. Love it!
