Pinetrees Glow

The bees humble the swaying stems
of the radiant grasses. An agitated jay
angrily denounces the injustice of being.
Pinetrees glow in the morning sun, brushy limbs
shimmering in infinitesimal movements of air.
Sunflowers bob from the assault of black and
yellow drones wearing their pollen chaps.

In the dawning it all looks so different.
What appeared irreparable in the dark
now filled with luminous potential.
The sounds that last evening were muted
and dismal today brim with busy confluence.
Taking my coffee and toast to a garden seat,
there’s more to note than to swallow.

Nature’s catalogue of marvels wax
mundane, yet I wear its afterimages
and drape my soul with the perfection.

Not only are the pinetrees glowing, so are you! This is a marvelous write, and the imagery is enhanced by the vocabulary...well done! A feast for the eyes!

Beautifully written, Natures splender.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Thank you all for reading this work. I hope it brought a smile to your face the way the moment did to mine. I don't know if I was able to adequately portray the sublime quality of that morning, but I tried, oh yes, I tried.

Sunshine, shadow, ethome, Suetang, Marge, Nan, and Cpat Hair - thanks again!
