Month: March 2016

Just before sunrise

As light reshapes waking earth

Pale blush floats on lake.

Gulls bridge sea and sky

Arc of wings to fly between

Blue infinities.

Gilt by setting sun

Sea rocks burning sky to sleep

Waves lap edge of earth.

Pod of pelicans

Reflections soar on blue waves

As they stand quite still.

Sunrays slice through sky

Sparkle on shimmering waves

Etch dark clouds with gold.

Roseate spoonbills

Pink wings against morning sky

Above ancient marsh.

Dark blue gulf waters

Trace cool path for sun’s descent

From fiery sky.
