Hey, God ! This One's For You ~*Marge Tindal*~ Man, by the time I got up this morning you'd been a busy painter I see Freshly splashed from your palette hues of deep-rose pink clung to the morning sky of that perfect backdrop canvas of blue radiating the crimson-gold rising of sun It's like you were the music director as well Early morning sounds began their harmonizing The dove hummed a soft coo to a mate The wind sang wake up tunes to the trees Alive ! Alive ! Buzzed the honeyed sing of the hive Mockingbirds joined the chorus from windowsills From their bed the sleepy daffodil began the morning ritual of dewdrop drying Why, down the street even dogs began to sing Grinning pansies prissily pirouetted in the breeze awaking the fern from feathered rest You changed the skyline every minute of every hour You sneaked in the gray power of a rainstorm that sent robins ruffling their feathered raincoats Cymbal's crashing accentuated the lightning display A hush fell as the sun took a curtsey lending us a peek at her hoop-skirted crinolines in every color of the rainbow Ever-so-slowly sienna sun crept toward the night edge dipping her toes in the cool moisture of twilight The spotlight dimmed and faded to indigo Then you had the audacity to bring on the stars dancing cross the Milky Way like they owned the place Finally, you lit up the night with Luna so lovely she melted hearts and gathered sighs You signed your name The least I can do is to give thanks God, this one's for you ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

What can I say Marge? This is so beautifully written. To say that I loved it is not enough. I want to put that one on my fridge... it's beautiful. "Dipping her toes in the cool moisture of twilight"... You are a poetess and a half... I greatly admire your talent and your perspective on life. Take care, Linda Munday |

Well, Marge... there you go again. What can be said? That was an absolutely beautiful poem. You painted a full canvas yourself, m'lady. (albeit a slightly smaller one!) Thank you for a wonderful way to finish an evening! Trev. |

This is one of the most magnificent poems I have read in recent times... I am head facing down, bowing I am standing in quiet, silenced I am deeply in awe, beauty-struck, I am your follower, poetry-bit. Marge, Thanks so much for being you... regards, sudhir |

Bustem~ It was such a glorious day. He sure painted a masterpiece and set it to music from dawn through night. That lovely moon still frolics in the sky. Thank you for the reply. Tracie~ Thank you, my sweet, sweet friend. Isn't it miraculous to know that He never gets tired of showing us His talent ? I feel so blessed. Linda~ He painted it and gave me the words to sing it. Thank you for the sweet reply. I'd be happy to hang on your fridge ! Trew~ I so appreciate your reply. I'm in awe at the glorious view He gives us each and every day. Thank you. Sudhir~ It just wrote itself ... as I arrived on Him in His studio of a new day. I thank you for your appreciation. Ya' sure got a way with words.  *Loving thoughts of you all. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I love those Florida skies... especially that "gray power" when one of those wonderful ten-minute rain storms is imminent... Great poem, my friend..  |

Marge~ this was incredible, I miss the country so much at times! (I mean I know I live in the downtown area of a tiny town of about 1500 people, but it's still town to this country girl!). This was lovely and gave credit where credit is due. ~Heather |
