Sonata

Look!

How embracing the greeting

the sun bestows

on this water.

To watch it rise alone

is worth any thousand excursions.

The entire expanse

set alight.

Waves caught up

by the glow.

And lances of light

shot through

notches in cloud

into spires

that fade in above.

Here

a misquoted desolation.

The very rocks

welcome its exposition.

All things warming;

all things welcoming.

Nothing speaks nature's love

more demurely and boldly.

Brilliantly rippled

spangled

shimmering

first-day harmony.
