Hope

 

By John Keats

When by my solitary hearth I sit,

When no fair dreams before my ‘mind’s eye’ flit,

And the bare heath of life presents no bloom;

Sweet Hope, ethereal balm upon me shed,

And wave thy silver pinions o’er my head …

Inspired by a photo I took when visiting a Greek Island, as I turned to a light dappled and flowered corner.....

and now with a glimmer of hope for us all!

A New Day is Born

The following is a poem written by Lee Werley....

A NEW DAY IS BORN

The sun bursts open the morning sky.

Rays of light reflect upon the waves.

The birds and sandpipers search for nourishment.

A variety of shells await the morning inspection.

Surf crashes.

Wind blows.

The sun shines.

A new day is born.

One more is added to our life experience.

His poem reminds me of the many beautiful mornings I have enjoyed at our favorite beach haunts, Amelia Island Plantation. It is a lovely spot and never crowded. This painting is based on a photo I took last  year while there.
