Sunrise Sentiments

Every birthday and Christmas I create a painting for my Beloved, and add a poem to it on the back. The first letter of each line either spells her name or some endearment, an acrostic poem.

Sunrise Sentiments

Jogging along with the glow of a crimson star,
Under indigo skies and wine dark seas, is
Love infinitely present;
In utter wonderment are we witness,
Effortlessly, to the ethereal dawn.

Motionless do we stand, as
Yonder do breaking waves beseech the shore.

Lingering...silent and still
On ancient and timeless sands,
Verily transfixed do we
Embrace the magnificence of the rising sun.

This poem is so cool. You should add a picture of the painting with this. Personally, I would put "Love is infinitely present" and "In utter wonderment, we witness". Just a couple of word tweaks. But I'm not exactly an accomplished poet, so you can ignore me if you want :)

What a wonderful gift you write for your darling, using her name and your endearment in form acrostic. Thank you so much for sharing.
