Falling Fire

I look up to see the sun is
falling down in slow motion
suspended blazing blinding
pure white gold - beautiful

Heavy mist lays low in the
fields trees floating suspended
soon the sun will disperse the mist

Blazing September sun
glorious is the day

Celebration of nature

This we should do every day, if not every minute of every day and you are here intensifying our experience of this wonderful happening that goes on and on always different always a sight we see with awe. I loved your sinking sun, and know it will rise again another day. Wonderful day Maggie, I am glad to be alive and able to see it. Love from Ann

Ann I just love nature and often walking alone day or night i see such wonders i take it all in as others rush past through their day not even noticing what is around them. I feel sad that they only see material things The power is a Ball of Fire always maggie

Jayne Thank you for sharing my poem September Sun was a title I did think of. But watching the sun falling. It became Falling fire. maybe another title could be Power is a ball of fire I do not know about hope as that is a long way off still all I can do is dream. To watch the day unfold always amazes me so. Yes it happens daily but it is always different. reborn That is what is so beautiful love and hugs my friend Magz

Hi Maggie

Isn't it just wonderful---the same sun did that for me yesterday (in California). Marvelous day. It outlined every bump in the desert in hazy shadow. My sun was in the evening. It sounds as though yours may have been in the morning. It inspired me to poetry and so has your poem. Always, Deelilah

Dee Yes it was in the early morning I was driving out for the day and as i drove along the highway the sun was blazing blinding pure white with the black spot in the center reaching for the earth moving but not moving. I looked the other side of the highway and saw the trees in the fields i was passing floating in the heavy morning mist still hanging low. I still see the image it just conjured up wonderful colours on either side of the highway. But you too as a driver in your truck travelling the early hours as i must see these wonders too.
