Did you see the morning sky? Orange and red hues colliding on the horizon. Awe, tranqulity time stood still as I drove On this early April morning A spring sunrise. Did you see the western evening sky? A setting star imbued with violet and crimson swirls My eyes grew large, wistfully contemplating the power of nature a summer's sunset. Silent darkness illuminated by fiery pinpoints. The lucidity of the early AMs draws me out to my porch I can't help but smile as I inhale the sweet smoke of cancer and I gaze up at the cosmos. Enjoying the beauty of simplicity on this incandescent night. And the heavens smiled... while I wept tears of joy I was high on reverment among other things grinning widely, wildly uncontrollably invoked by things not created by man and the heavens smiled...

thanks for the warm words  too often we get caught up in our material desires or worldly concerns and we forget to admire nature's fine workmanship (like Mysteria so fittingly put it)Sunshine - thanks for the compliment, you've made me feel welcome here |

Not only do the heavens smile ~ but so does your appreciative soul. ...and now I am smiling at you.  You captured the overwhelming joy one can experience when beholding nature's beauty! I was exhilarated and flooded with the beauty of your words, of nature, and of your unadulterated appreciation of these gifts that are there but for the looking! I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience! Keep your eye on the sky! Love & Nature, EA  |
