sunrise by the river


in every beginning there is an ending


somewhere in the world
night just fell
perhaps gently
perhaps suddenly


behind what hill did this sun just slip

through which trees are the last fingers of night still playing

on which river has the last diamond of light just finished dancing

in whose eyes is this light fading

  1. Sitting here in quiet house with six of the seven residents sound asleep.

    I sit alone in my overstuffed armchair, and I see your post. The soft darkness, the otherworldly music and images on the video, and your lovely, lovely words...the whole of it fills me with peace.

    Your photos are extraordinarily beautiful. tsk.

    In every beginning there is an ending. Yes, the yin/yang.

    What a powerful way to say goodbye to one day and hello to another.

  4. jo - the morning was very very cold and my hands were able to hold the camera for a minute or so before i had to put them back in my gloves to thaw them out. the camera battery was blinking in and out of service because it was freezing up. but i waited for big brother sun to show and when he did it was so cool to see all the colours through the river's steam. i'm grateful for your comment and glad to share the pleasure of the details of this post. steven

  7. the sun shines unseen
    above thick wintry rain clouds
    as night's dark grows gray
