Nature's Own Decor  Sun weaving through the morning woods lights up the forest floor swaths of gold and shadows, green nature's own decor scarlet passions, daybreak glow spirits newly formed burnished light of morning sun embrace the day, newborn creatures stir awake from sleep eyes open to first light shaking off the slumberdust behold the joyous sight through thick of forest greenings shafts of light unfold the new wrapping vistas, leafy full in damp of morning dew ~ Lyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (06-18-2002 01:03 AM).] |

Such a serene scene you have penned and it reminds me of the place I walk. With all the rain we have had of late - green does not begin to describe the colors. I love the picture also. Hugs, Marti |

Lyra, this is a beautiful poem, and I so admire the way you do the picture. Marsha told me how to do them once, but it was too complicated for me. Nan |

 (smiles) Oh Lyra, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I just love looking through the greenway when the sun comes up, it is so relaxing and the sunset always seems to repeat that interlude! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Thank you so much, Martie...It used to be my favorite also, but since I no longer do mornings except when forced to...I have now learned to appreciate the sunset....both paint beautiful pictures on our landscape. ~ sunrise hugsLyra |

Thank you, Nan...Its easier to learn how to do the pictures when someone is standing right by your side and telling you what you are doing wrong, so you can correct it. David has been a tremendous help to me with the graphics.... If you come to visit me in Michigan, I will show you how to do them in person. ~ computer confusion hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Suthern... When I saw that picture, I actually re-wrote this poem to fit. Its an old poem from years ago, and it really needed some rehabilitation... glad you enjoyed ~ morning hugsLyra |
