Dawn is the blush
Of the sky kissing
The water.
(Sometimes it’s worth waking up at 6 am on a Saturday morning and creeping out in your nightie to take pictures!)
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” — Steve Jobs

Oh, to experience such a dawn must be compared to finding a hidden treasure at the end of the rainbow. Beautiful capture.
Lovely and very wise quote too, from this century’s greatest visionaries – I do not think I have felt such sadness over a public persona passing away, as I do today. Knowing that he will not be around any longer brings a certain feeling of despair to my perception, as I have been a devoted Mac fan since 1984. I think Apple is doomed, unfortunately. Not any time soon, but in the long run…

The Moon for company,
Stars in her eyes,
she pulls
the dark veil
of the Night
over
her face.
Watching the world
during
the day-
the wars,
the abuse,
the tears
she watches,
the trauma hurts…
The night
forces a rethink,
cool winds,
brushing the cheeks,
a quiet,
some sleep,
and then
as dawn,
as the peace birds,
and fragrant flowers
herald better times.
She unveils
her face
and looks down,
at her image
in the waters of a quiet lake.
A blushing pink
face
smiles back
at her
amidst
breathtaking mists
rising up
in glory,
to herald a new day
in a new world….
