Petals Of The Sun

When dawn dips the morning

in its honeyed radiance

there spreads that wonderful mellow sheet

of saffron serenity.

Upon the emerald fields of California’s fertile vales

arise the poppies as the vibrant arrays in sight

when they stir a soft illumined citrus tint

and summoned a warmth

that streaks over the heart with a topaz tranquility,

 

So enchantedly they dance upon the wind

with their slow sway in creamy hued spells,

life seems to glow amid that tangential touch

as slowly the spirit floats

on the mystical breeze that is stirred

by the stimulation from the lemony shades

easily basking the moment in their saffron allure.

 

Amid the silence there swells a calm,

how it so totally entrances

through that natural floral display.

Like petals of the sun

who comb the soul

by a gentle brush in bliss.

 

They are like flares

that gives a day a special energy

you get to feel until night.
