Early morning mists envelop and swirl <br />Beneath Smokey’s English topography <br /> <br />By day, she sports a stylish new fall coat <br />Angled vertical ripples in sepia <br /> <br />With textured points of cedar-ed green <br />Contrasting veins of rust invading her <br /> <br />Lofty domain now halo-ed in fiery <br />Magenta - fused cyan and yellows <br /> <br />Printing hallowed images in my <br />Photographic lifetime-d memories <br /> <br />Arising to this early morn’s sacred kiss <br />With morning’s peace cupped in steaming <br /> <br />Tea, quietly waking my sleepy space <br />Wrapped in sixty watt electric lights <br /> <br />Serenity affording sweet silence <br />A gift sent so I might read in His stillness<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sacred-kisses-couplets/
