At bright edge of night
Flowers glow from final rays
Burning through pale fog.
At bright edge of night
Flowers glow from final rays
Burning through pale fog.
Late afternoon clouds
Linger over deep valley
Holding endless peaks.
Tiers of waterfalls
Crashing down deep green mountain
Through slices of stone.
Clouds fill with sunrise
Carry dawn colors from sky
Down dark mountainsides.
Laurel blooms at edge
Where forest creeps to water
River slowly flows.
Rhododendrons bloom
Single white flower echoes
Distant drifting clouds.
Tropical islands
Obscured by bright cotton clouds
Float off etched mainland.
Feathers fully fluffed
Bird shelters against raindrops
Of tropical storm.
Above drifting clouds
Plants stay short in cool thin air
Ocean far below.
Waking with dark night
Full moon unfurls bright blossoms
Closing up at dawn.
