Watching the Earth Wake
Steam rises and falls
misting the entire landscape
heat boiling rain-kissed grass
I open my eyes in time to see the earth wake.
Ever so slowly it stretches
the tip of the sun blinking lazily
watching the sky yawn,
clouds still blushing pink from their night out
hurriedly scuttling in place for dawn.
Shadows cast now disappear
a blast of blazed orange chases away the cold,
I fling my dirty yellow penny towards the horizon
see it land with a ping right in the middle
then slowly rise up
as gold.

You capture the essence perfectly with this, Jewel. I love going out for early morning walks or jogs. The air is so crisp and the clouds look so picturesque...
It's always inspiring

~Soft and Still~
Jewel,
This poem is so soft and still. It is beautiful. Life can be so tough, and you have showed us the soft side. You got up on the gentle side of the bed, and slowly took in the new day with such profound innocence.
You are one of a kind. I love your spirit.
Love,
Kathy
