“Forest Sunrise” by Do Olesovic
(Originally posted June 2013)
dawn crawls through the forest
pushing first glow between dense
hands of pine boughs and
flat fans of oak leaves
slipping onto the porch and over the sill
to settle itself in my unsleeping eyes
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Lovely! Perspective though is a funny thing. I love to see the sunrise when i purposely get up early to see it or if I’m out or up that late and get to enjoy it. Beautiful and magical…. Completely different than when I’m trying to sleep or have a migraine…then its damn sun!

indeed – and light is surely no friend of migraines

As I read these words, I think of how wonderful to live in such a place surrounded by the children of Mother Nature; yet I also wonder why the character portrayed cannot sleep. Good job the imagery is outstanding. AJM

Hello Paul, It has been some time since I have contacted you. I have missed your sweet, gentle nature. I’ve been ill so much this year, that my recent book releases has not been promoted at all. I am trying to figure out how to create a larger following, but, to be honest…I don’t know how. I’d like to correspond with you to ask some questions. If it is alright and you find it appropriate…Would you contact me by email? I would so appreciate it. God Bless as always, Barb
