Golds, yellows, reds
oranges, purples and rose;
The fading greys of night, the shifting oceanic blues of dusk –
mellow beams of radiant light
and soft warmth gilding everything/one
in their path.
Glittering jewels in the crown
of the dawn.
Her ascent and coronation
are the day, and
as further it expands,
becoming potential itself,
the sky bursts alive with color, aglow with the Sun’s fires.
All awake
stunned into quiet awe
as sunrise makes her marks
on the unblemished canvas
of a new day’s genesis…
The most precious gift of the day
is the small moment where all is
blissfully calm, and nothing stirs:
a collective stillness
a moment of pure oneness with the Universe
sunrise is a daily infusion of Nirvana
before the plunge into
the perpetual routine busyness
of the mortal world.

Purple
I’ve always felt
my favorite color is purple.
And maybe it truly is;
But, still…
When I look around my life –
in my wardrobe, at my environment and surroundings,
my adornments and accessories…
I see more greens and aquas,
grays and blues
and random other pieces
of Earth’s rainbow.
Not as much purple
as there maybe should be
if it is indeed my favorite color.
Or, maybe it’s just that
my subconscious tastes
aren’t very biased
and I like being surrounded by
various shades and colors;
Yet the one that most soothes my senses,
resonates within my consciousness,
captivates my awareness,
is purple
and all its endless hues.
