Dawn’s welcoming sign
Sunrise offers daily grace—
Unforgettable
Morning showers fade
Rainbow’s vividness appears—
Testament of peace
Evening’s curtain drops
Serenity’s sunset glows—
Time’s faithful footnote
Tempting much too early
Overflowing thoughts stir
Life’s background music plays
Traveling to Big Sur
Remembering darkness
Transforming to moonlight
Memories play again
Rising from calmest night
Filling empty bucket
Pondering this new day
Distant dawn now teases
Opening mind to play
Feeling heartbeat’s rhythm
Leaving shadow’s twilight
Wisdom’s timeless travels
Scaling forgotten heights
Harmonizing sunrise
Glowing horizon beams
Sweet morning refreshment
Waking from blissful dream
Each calming sunrise
Warmest personality—
Treasured summer breath
Sunrise awakens
Color added to landscape—
Stirring with brightness
Transforming sunrise
Moonlight now fading way—
Day’s curtain rises
Early morning moon
Leaving at sunrise
Life awakens above
Welcoming brightest blue skies
Heavens’ newest page
Sharing rested smile
Vision captures each scene
Unlocking Creator’s file
Light follows skyward
Landing at treetop
Canopy’s leafy look
Holding up every dewdrop
Clouds shift overhead
Fluffing each pillow
Onboard timeless sunset
Rising with every billow
Gentle breeze humming
Composing fresh tunes
Harmony’s precision
Sailing toward fullest moon
Morning’s gentle light
Welcomed sunrise testifies—
Heavens shine with hope
Evening dusk returns
Landscape’s relaxing sunset—
Tomorrow’s peace rests
Dreamy stars waken
Galaxy twinkling with love—
Stirring nightly joy
Sunset says goodnight
Closing another page
Thoughts filling with peace
Waiting, tomorrow’s stage
Dreams nurture escape
Leaving reality
Subconscious journey
Resting under palm tree
Ocean’s tide rolls in
Viewing each breaking wave
Sleep’s rhythm flows out
Sketching stages to crave
Clouds soon disappear
Clearing under moonlight
Gentle hopes stirring
Taking in spirit’s night
Early dawn arrives
Rousting from slumber’s rest
Sunrise breathes again
Catching stage’s next quest
Morning’s freshness rises
Crooning familiar tune
Harmonizing each voice
Daylight now covers moon
Sunrise wakens landscape
Energizing life’s lease
Stirring every creature
Dawn’s breath sharing her peace
Robin redbreast flies in
Sharing first taste of spring
Closing winter’s last page
Transition’s chorus sings
Timid flora bravely stirs
Pushing up, not by chance
Adding fresh touch of green
Innocent day shall dance
Nature’s steady heartbeat
Craving season’s flavor
Looking toward summer
More blessings to savor
Peering into endless darkness
Fearing night’s disquieting steps
Hiding in wilderness shadows
Hearing distant tap at doorstep
Searching horizon, now silent
Missing gracious slice of moonlight
Looking into starless abyss
Galloping toward hidden knight
Catching glimpse of advancing dawn
Feeling comfortable with fate
Focusing on ember of light
Opening journey’s final gate
Reaching intended rendezvous
Bring peace to life’s blessed love
Sharing from adventure’s story
Finding early sunrise above
Clouds migrate away
Sunrise circulates her warmth—
Morning’s chill escapes
Dancing tree branches
Harmony’s rhythmic movements—
Breath of turbulence
Overcast all day
Gray canvas waits with patience—
Sunset paints with light
The inspiration for this poem comes from a photograph published on Jan’s blog in her “Wordless Wednesday” post. Check out her site for some wonderful poetry, inspiration, photography, and so much more. There is probably a hint (yes, definitely) of the rustic and tranquil life experienced in the small communities of western Montana.

Picturesque, isolated hamlet
Resting below mountainous shadows
Nestled along lake’s calming fingers
Life’s narrative writing tranquil prose
Sunrise crawls over the mountaintop
Cruising silently in their small boat
Early to rise anglers find their spot
Baiting hooks for trout with rainbow coats
Soon village shops begin to open
Curious shoppers fill crowded streets
Welcoming Farmers’ Market today
Locals selling homegrown goods and treats
Later, stillness returns to the town
Sunny, summer day comes to an end
Sun setting behind lake’s dozing shore
Waiting for tomorrow’s best friends
