Gold On Grey

Cassie58

when sun illuminates sky’s winter grey 

to cast a golden gleam on crystal sea 

it raises spirits wrapped in warm dressed clothes 

a treasure chest of jewels for all to see 

like diamond dust that sparkles cluster bright 

said gems a given gift to mesmerize 

they can not fail to please it’s natures way 

a feast for all with tired weary eyes 

how lifting is the prize of dazzling light 

a chance to watch the dance on salty waves 

the rays are like a tonic sent to heal 

escape from mindsets troubled darkest caves 

how fine these moments are for us to hold 

when breakers rolling in are kissed with gold

    ‘Funny’ how gold on grey will always happen towards the west at sundown and always to the east at sunup. 🙏🏻🕊

    • Cassie58

      Gosh, how very quick you are to respond arqios, but I thank you. A favourite place, in Brixham which does happen to be in the west country. The light on water, always uplifting. Enjoy the rest of your day.

      A very picturesque poem that paints with such artistic wonder. My favorite lines are the last two they come crashing like golden caped waves on shore

                                If this is not as near perfect as classical poetry ever gets, then I'll be blowed if I know what is .. and just between us, for the record, I'm with Teddy on this. Neville
