Please don’t worry 
the earth is still here 
and wind and sky 
wait for us 

this indigo sky on a clear starry night gives way to a gentle dawn
held in a whisper blue
in a silken sunrise 
light bearers overhead 
create an ever changing kaleidoscope!

colors like ~
carilion bluegrass 
berry plum 
and flamingo pinks
mixed hues & colors
flowing like a beautiful new scarf placed over my head 
quietly folding 
into the curves of my day 

I can see the end of day
rich golden light now shines 
upon Lake Ann’s shorelines 
and velvet golden shelves 
frozen in limestone ledges 
as light fills the tops of the hills in grand golden swaths of fire

the light keeps moving west
and falls into shadows
echoing back 
to a honeydew sun 
as evening light filters through these woodland hills

skywinds 
meet me on the rise 
and in twilight
I emerge 
awakening 
as I rise 
to my day refreshed in silent prayer 
while the world sleeps 
yet never still
