Morning Greetings
A rooster from across the way
announces “all is well”
as dawn creeps past the morning star
and settles in the dell.
A thin white cloud accentuates
the snow-crowned mountain crest,
backed by dark grey and pink and blue:
God’s glory manifest.
The sun, still hidden in the east,
sets the powdered peak aglow,
easing slowly down the hillside
to the valley far below.
Each moment has its work of art
as shadows change the scene
in this Sandia paradise,
majestic, cool, serene.
Appreciation for these blessings?
Our bumper gives a clue:
“If you’re lucky enough to live in the mountains,
you’re lucky enough”, so true!
