Morning bursts forth in all its radiant glory
Peering into the dark sheltered woods
Highlighting the trees dancing on flowers
The stepping stones draw me to the trees
To the mysterious woods sheltering the creek
Turning to mush in summer’s heat
Frogs buried in the mud keep cool
Sending out their sharp croaks
calling for someone to hear
Morning breezes soon shift
to a sauna of heat and humidity
But for now the glorious morning rests
on the yellow buttercups
Red salvia bathed in the sunlight
reach toward the heavens
Calling me to come join them
In the exhilaration of the beckoning day

I wrote this four years ago, but I felt like it was time to post it again as I looked out across the bottom filled with blooming wildflowers covering the creek!
Lovely words and pics

A burst of joy in words and pictures, Dwight! We had a creek in our old backyard and there’s nothing like watching the foliage and critters change around it. Enjoyed this with my morning cup of tea (second or third) before me.😀

That poem captures the joy of morning so nicely, and the brilliance of those wildflowers is amazing! Is that the woods in your backyard? One could sit there watching Nature the whole day 💖

Yes, there is a gas line of about a hundred feet then a wooded area with a few house on back in a ways. Thank you very much!
