Thus Daylight Woke

 The muted light,
     the colors soft,
          the morning light so moist and drawn,
The gray-draped rain
     with petrichor washed—
          thus daylight woke with quiet yawn.

Sunrise on the Isle of Skye

See the colors there upon the sky and the water!

Such delicate and transcendent touches of a divine hand, captured in a moment and inscribed upon a photograph. These colors, these delicate hues and stains, are like the soft and exquisite display of a mother decorating the nursery of her first born child. Subtle and tender, fragile and graceful—she colors the sky and paints the landscape with her tender hues.

Mother Nature and I, her earth child, both smile at your extremely intuitive and very touching prose. On a very personal note, I must tell you that I did indeed decorate the nursery of my first born child with these exact colors. Each and every one of them you see in the sky and water. I even chose each color of yarn and crocheted blankets. I’ve told you before you are the psychic poet!! Truly “divinely inspired.”
