Illuminating
Nourishing landscape
Radiating at sunrise—
Creator’s spirit

Gathering
Enduring sunrise
Wakening morning’s treasures—
New day beginning

Summoning
In early dawn’s light
Nighttime passes her baton—
Horizon’s sunrise

Nourishing landscape
Radiating at sunrise—
Creator’s spirit

Enduring sunrise
Wakening morning’s treasures—
New day beginning

In early dawn’s light
Nighttime passes her baton—
Horizon’s sunrise

Hearing past voices
Filling another pathway—
History stirring

Heart’s ultimate strength
Finding untapped devotion—
Precious gentleness

Endless harmony
Life’s free-flowing spirit—
Every ocean tide

Outlook smiling back
New day advancing forward—
Yesterday erased

Constant companion
Life’s lyrics looking forward—
Melody’s rhythm

Warming lonely heart
Blazing light sweeping forward—
Each morning sunrise

Morning thunderstorm
Followed with rain’s gentleness—
Summer’s welcome pause

Ripened, golden fields
Filling nation’s breadbasket—
Ready for harvest

Autumn’s dry stream beds
Snow falling on mountaintops—
Spring’s blessed run-off

Human element
Instinct joins intuition—
Finding solutions

Waiting at crossroads
Game’s intangible knowledge—
Patience now answers

Flipping day’s chessboard
Applying lifetime of moves—
Evading checkmate

Day’s vacuuming
Collecting family’s dirt—
Household spy network

No joy this morning
Chicken late crossing the road—
Breakfast’s eggs . . . uncracked!

Umpire on his phone
Never missing any calls—
Each instant replay

Notebook always close
Springing forth from anywhere—
Writer’s endless thoughts

Writing with patience
Searching for smallest ember—
Words waken each flame

Quiet solitude
Stillness primes another page—
Words come, flowing free

Too many choices
Dreaming of sampling each one—
Tasting delicious

Reading instructions
Deciphering every step—
Uncommon language

Taking advantage
Fitting into slower pace—
Daily puzzle solved

Calendar page turns
Hello Summer, my dear friend—
Makin’ memories

Another refill?
Do you really need to ask?
Pour one more cup please

Life’s daily puzzle
So many empty spaces—
Piece waits in the wings

Morning’s dawn arrives
Hilltop meadow’s peacefulness—
Ancient voices speak

Enchanting flowers
Saying “hello” each sunrise—
Precious day’s escape

Stunning scenic view
Quilt of so many colors—
Daylight’s mountaintop
