Liquid Dawn
Good morning!
Riverside
A golden cascade Paints the sky With hues of fire A symphony of colors Mirrored in the silky Ribbon of the river Where the box turtles Climb on partially submerged Rocks and branches In the embrace of morning's desire
Ocean View
In hushed stillness, Night’s hold slackens; Dawn’s gilding, gently born, Tiptoes on the ocean; Reflecting off the waves, Its creamsicle colors; Bathing the world In warm, ethereal bliss.
On Golden Pond
A fiery dawn consumes The pond where lilies wade; Their green leaves glistening, Bathed in the morning's grace. Gold-tinged rays shine With a divine brilliance, As light breezes caress, And birds sing their greeting.
Fire and Ice
Where fire and ice collide, Where beauty, strength combine, Dawn starts its quest across A looking-glass glacier lake. Water placid, shining, With touches of bright grace, Creates a magical welcome, As the sun's rays caress. Birds soar high in thin air, Wing tips gilded by rays, Their tunes fill the silence, In a symphonic accounting. In this ethereal panorama, Nature's wonders awake, As fiery dawn illuminates Moments of enchantment.
