As the scarlet sunset slowly fades,
And dusk introduces the night,
The crescent moon on center stage,
Gives forth a semblance of light.
Perching on the mossy dock,
Staring out at the mirrored lake,
I reflect on this new battle,
Unsure of which road to take.
In this dark serenity,
I humbly look up to You,
Asking for Your guidance,
To show me what I must do.
Gulls appearing as angels,
Are soaring through the skies,
A congregation of wispy clouds,
Have taken control of my eyes.
Billowing sleeves of purest white,
Seem coming through the haze,
Majestic, gentle, outstretched arms,
At once command my gaze.
Asking for some answers,
You've come with Your embrace,
Through the just born evening,
You've filled me with Your grace.
The water without a ripple,
Reflects this scene from above,
A most magnificent masterpiece,
Painted wholly with Your love.

Bonnie, Like everyone else, this leaves me in awe. Heavenly, beautiful all that is good.
What a heart and soul of gold, you have, to pen this poem. This is a poem glorifying God's creation seen from your heart.  marcy

Bonnie does have a talent that just comes shining through on each of her poems!

I too can't find the words to say just how awesome this is!  But your writing usually leaves me in this predicament. I need to search through the dictionary to come up with something new
