A Day is Our Life

 

Life dawns like sunrise

Soft pinks and blues against the black from which it came

Sudden burst of light stretching fingers and toes to a new day.

Receiving blankets of fluffy white

Soft breezes, from Mother Earth, kiss the cheeks of a brand new day.

Spread your wings and announce our new life for we are blessed!

Rustle the name through the leaves, over fields and hills

Blow strong over the oceans

Grow tall from sapling to a mighty oak

Early morning of our life is for bountiful energy and spunk

Splashing and running, carrying treasures to unknown banks afar.

Frolicking from tree to tree chasing the cottonwood seeds

 

Then approached the noon of our lives

A time to pause; to partake of nourishment from our hearts and minds

Lying in fields of bluebonnets and pink poppies

Nestled in beds of paint brush and purple clover

Revel in your time for it is short!

The hours roll by, to a cool afternoon breeze.

Blow softly for the afternoon is mellow

The lake lays still; no ripples in its tranquility.

Comfort years of life taking an afternoon siesta

Bask in the sun; remember the morning.

Early hours well spent exploring.

Places where you once played buccaneer,

Shrubs that just this morning hid fortresses

Now each picturesque against a landscape of Kentucky Blue

 

Too soon Dusk arrives on a charcoal gray charger

Thundering its arrival in the swirl of gluttonous clouds

Chasing you, you seek shelter under the weeping willows

Water rushes in a swirl of memories

Rippling creeks to still waters

The hills no longer beckon

They no longer hold the fascination of an earlier time.

Darkness blankets the earth

Your sit and watch the light show in the sky.

The sun no longer shines through the down pour of tears.

You reminisce

It was a good day, your life!

From the sunrise to your sunset.
