First light over Great Central Lake
first light tiptoes on foggy cloud-feet
as the mist burns away
the gifts of the day will be revealed
the trees tip back their heads
and drink deeply of October's rain -
relief at summer's end
Sunset over Sproat Lake
from Heart of Vancouver Island
from Heart of Vancouver Island
though sunsets happen far from me,
beyond my sight,
I remain ever grateful
that they exist at all
Blood Moon
Sidney Observatory, Australia
in darkness, I look up
to admire your most perfect beauty,
and you light my way
There really are so many gifts that nature has given us. Light alone is a wonderful gift, as you have expressed. And the beauty of the moon's light is difficult to surpass!
