—————-
Each sunrise is
unique in nature…
And once it is burned
into your retinas,
it vanishes…
Never to appear again…
But..
When the day cycles through…
And the night
consumes its own
ever darkening
tail…
We are left…
With infinite opportunities…
to open up our
morning windows,
Let the parade of
light begin..
and bathe
in the glow
of hope..

I feel refreshed after reading that poem! 🙂
Well…That’s great…It was a refreshing photo and morning:)))
🙂 Kinda reminds me of this song by a band called Tool called ‘Lateralus’. Beautiful as always, just like you. I haven’t posted today, people probably think I am dead!
Tool! well…That’s pretty much classic them…I was more thinking either Retrovertigo (Mr. bungle) Or polyphony (soundpool) buttttt…I’d be happy with tool:)
Ya know, I have met Tool! I am friends with Adam Jones on Facebook (the guitarist). They are an amazing band! I love Mr Bungle too. What a revelation you are! 🙂
Yeah…I’m a hugeeee Mike Patton fan in any of his bands..:))
Tomahawk? Me too! Faith No More being the best obviously! 🙂
and fantomas…tomahawk is great…they have a new CD coming out…and FNM was and is sooo fantastic
I know! I am hopefully going to catch them over the Summer. Nom, nom! I am a music fiend… I play guitar and think in songs. 🙂
Awe, David, precious, this one is. Could picture the window and light coming through. Very lovely. And I adore this photo. The color is splendid and unique. Excellent eye, you have. Dinosaur Roars and Stomps, my fine friend, Sir D. And giant dinosaur hugs….since fruit can’t hug…. 😉 Sam

Good GRACIOUS! If I had to choose which I adore more… the photograph or the poem, I simply don’t know which it would be. So I won’t choose. I’ll love them both!
welllll…I think I’m partial to the photo on this one:)))
dreamy photo and meaningful poem
I agree. That photo was great:). I was really happy with it. Thank you:)
Hi David,
I love the monochromatic shade of this image. You captured the light at the right moment which is cunningly complemented by the lovely lyrics of your poem. I am reminded of a similar scene which I photographed at the Isle of Skye, Scotland some years back.
ahhhh..scotland…That would be a photo I would love to see…
