Wholesomeness
Warmest beginnings
Sunrise’s gift of welcome—
Youthful innocence

Gentleness
Horizon’s shadows
Sunset offers gratitude—
Joyful innocence

Peacefulness
Landscape now resting
Under serenity’s quilt—
Nightly innocence

Warmest beginnings

The photos shown with this poem come from my private collection. They desire to complement each stanza with nature’s voice.
Toes filled with white beach sand
Eastern horizon brightens
Morning’s sunrise glowing
Feeling life’s burdens lighten

Face stings with winter’s cold
Mountain ski run offers thrills
Freshest powder waiting
Energy flowing downhill

Sunset viewed from front porch
Peace adds footnote to this day
Tomorrow always dreams
Thoughts sketching blessed essay

Morning’s wilderness lake
Fisherman’s heart set to cast
Man and nature as one
Sunrise ascends to full mast

Moments with nature’s voice
Thankful for each treasured gift
Every day welcomes home
Spirit no longer adrift

Bluest sky above
Covering landscape with peace—
Creator at work

Morning’s stillness breathes
Feeling treasured, beating heart—
Spirit never rests

Each final shadow
Comforting Father’s presence—
Sunset invites rest

Morning’s stillness breathes
Renewing peace returns home—
Dawn welcomes one back

Afternoon’s hope stirs
Gentle breezes come calling—
Spirit fills each heart

Nightly curtain drops
Horizon’s fading embrace—
Tomorrow’s light waits

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

Window’s morning view
Feeling pull of forest’s tune—
Heart breathes harmony

Sunset’s gentle breeze
Turning heavenly pages—
Endless horizons

Summer soon fading
Waiting for autumn’s return—
Filling with color


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

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
