The glittering glaze
Of a bright new day
Mirrors the water
Across the lake
Stinging my eyes
A single tear I cry
It escapes my breath
And disappears into the water
Ripples of sun
Caught in each wake
Spanning the islands
Gold spun
A lone cloud appears
Wispy and young
Billowing quietly away
For today, and every day
The horizon of belief, and love
Makes every day worth
Sitting in the sun
As I climb upon the rock
The wisteria drop, from hiding
And join my quest up high
To thank God that I'm alive


Hello everyone, Been a while. Been sitting in the sun and painting around the house. Have a beautiful day. God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Regina

Regina! I'm glad you're back! You have been missed around here!

I love it, the imagery, and especially "to thank God I'm alive."  What an uplifting piece.

Hope to see you around here more

I could almost hear you singing as you lap that paintbrush!  Welcome back and thanks for the inspiration to begin our days in the awe and gratitude your verse offers.

Hey Regina - It certainly has been awhile...missed you around here.  This is such a beautiful poem, the imagery made me feel as if I were there.  Being out in the sun certainly does inspire you. Glad you're back.  Bonnie
