Near golden sunsets

Last night’s storms have ridden away;
lightning-struck clouds drifting past the horizon.
The meadowlark woke to morning blue skies
and sunshine through the cottonwoods.
Raindrops slide off triangular leaves
floating to the dew-laced grasses
to puddle in perfect precision.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. -- Navajo Proverb

...feel the wind whip 'round again
and fresh comes to the face
let the morning ride again
and gather up it's grace...

Heard there were some pretty wicked storms
your way last night...
This one gives the feeling of the calming aftermath.

(smiles) Your wonderful words roar with the power of a storm, sweet friend, I do love storms but even more love it when everyone is safe and no one is ever hurt and the rainbow that comes out of the clouds afterward! (big huggsssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Philip, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
