the soft sky
begins to take on
the brightness
of the rising sun,
the early morning
is quiet,
its peace
reaches into
the recesses
of the soul -
last night's restlessness
disappears -
the golden light
is warmth,
it provides a calm
you never know you need
until it washes over you

Natural Beauty
the moon
backlights a cloud
providing a bright halo
as it descends
to the west;
in the east
a tangerine aura
begins its rise
to claim the sky;
the creek trickles
a simple song
as autumn leaves
dance to the earth
on a gentle breeze;
we search
far and wide
for a beauty
that will provide peace
to our restless souls;
it surrounds
