Fall’s Freshest Brew

Glorious morning’s start

Grasping Creator’s hand

Warmed by faithful, rising sun

Waking His precious land

 

Nature’s intimate breath

Towering forest sings

Harmony’s rhythm soaring

Flying on eagle’s wings

 

Portrait’s autumn colors

Bordering every street

Imagination sails free

Painting each scene, repeat

 

Gentle spirit gathers

Energizing each thought

Another page waits to breathe

Tying landscape’s love knot

 

Trusted clock standing still

Adjusting every view

Tomorrow postponed for now

Tasting fall’s freshest brew

Daniel James Brown Quotes

From WordPress Library.

Harmony, balance, and rhythm.  They’re all the three things that stay with you your whole life.

Perhaps the seeds of redemption lay not just in perseverance, hard work, and rugged individualism.  Perhaps they lay in something more fundamental–the simple notion of everyone pitching in and pulling together.

Daniel James Brown (born 1951) is an American author.  He specializes in creating narrative nonfiction books.  The above quotes come from his book, The Boys in the Boat:  Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Waking . . .

Waking at midnight

Blessed with moon-free sky

Peering into galaxy’s midst

Endless stars twinkle “hi”

 

Waking with silence

Moonlight dropping in

Feeling heavens’ distant light

Harmony’s smiling grin

 

Waking in darkness

Storm’s thunder crashes

Rolling over quiet thoughts

Lightning’s outburst flashes

 

Waking to calmness

Creek gently rolls by

Flowing with tranquil spirit

Landscape waving “goodbye”

 

Dreaming no longer

Each hour filled with rest

Composing nightly rhythm

Set for tomorrow’s quest

Windmill’s Faithful Turning

Shifting seasons frame change

Visions color each page

Windmill’s faithful turning

Always prepared to engage

 

Stirring with day’s sunrise

One more painting to view

Autumn’s awakening

Colors ink nature’s tattoos

 

Circling within each hour

Landscape reveals fresh start

Winter’s white fills sketches

Snow-covered quilt warming hearts

 

Waiting with eagerness

Tender green sprouts share love

Spring’s quenching refreshment

Precious gifts rain from above

 

Enjoying lazy days

Filled with endless sunshine

Summer’s relaxation

Flowers color each headline

 

Sharing seasons’ rhythm

Time to exchange baton

Windmill’s faithful turning

Pleasantly awake at dawn

Narrative’s Precious Tale

Searching for quiet respite

Following dreams, each detail

Escaping from mankind’s noise

Finding narrative’s hidden trail

 

Crossing nearby forest bridge

Forgetting work’s last email

Arriving at paradise

Sweeping away narrative’s veil

 

Discovering prairie ahead

Saddling up, each thought exhales

Envisioning where time stands

Framing narrative’s rhythmic scale

 

Scanning landscape’s tranquil scene

Treasuring every inhale

Climbing each majestic peak

Flying narrative’s parasail

 

Grasping reins tightly in hands

Riding forward to prevail

Looking for more tomorrow’s

Writing narrative’s precious tale

New Day Beginning

Dawn now arriving

Stars fading above

Gentle morning breeze

First light’s breath of love

 

Moonlight vanishing

Shadows fade away

Landscape awakens

Sunrise finds its way

 

New day beginning

Ready to engage

Consistent rhythm

Nature turning page

 

Daylight now stirring

Tree leaves splashed with dew

Lofty choir warms up

Songbirds out of view

 

Harmony singing

Each familiar tune

Daybreak’s dance ending

Soon comes afternoon
