CRYSTAL MORNING

In a crystal morning's prism
Wakes a beach, refined and white.
It yawns, outstretched against a star
Reflecting...
In a multitude of light.

A ray of dawn a gull has captured
On a plunging downward flight,
Directs him to the gleaming shells
In his early morning plight.

A shimmering sea of golden sparks
Builds slowly to a crest,
Then falls; translucent, calm again,
Bringing pelicans to rest.

They glide and dip
While palm fronds dance
To winds of gentle teasing.
Serenity lies in rainbow skies,
A prism light;
So pleasing.

Do you live somewhere warm near the beach also? Im in Puerto Rico. Your poems remind me of my thoughts. Thank you for that :)

I'm in St. Thomas. We're neighbors! Thank you for thanking me.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
