"Nature in Waking" is an acrylic painting based off a friend's poem of the same title. The old adage says that "a picture is worth a thousand words." That maybe true, but there are some poems that are worth a thousand pictures.
"Nature in Waking"
by Danielle Fessenbecker
This morning, just before the sun removed sleep from its eyes
and the stars rested their heads on cosmic pillows
I climbed a tree overlooking yards of houses
with chimneys and window lights
All the grass yawned and stretched the length of wire fences
While even humble flowers shook to clear frost from their limbs
and winter dreams.
Past town I could see distant valleys and fields making love to earth
as curious hills smiled down on their thing together.
At first blush each part of nature looks new and innocent
in the ever ceasing rebirth of itself.
