Describing a Moment

I was sitting outside, and chose to write this.

I find myself lost for words...

Such a moment of peace

that can't be described

With sunlight showering down

through the atmosphere 

Bright light, but not yellow

More white,... Pure

The sun gazing down upon the Earth

and bringing everything to life

Flowers of every color

Stretching themselves 

towards the nutrition

A white tall one

Unstained petals

Opening... and then

drooping down around itself

A bright orange one

Almost as if you took

the inside of a citrus fruit

and set it on fire

Puffed up like a ball

Consisting of a million tiny petals

Making it look full and fluffy

and then roses...

Dark red, unwilted  roses

With dark brownish-green thorns

along the deep-set green stem
I look along the sky...
Empty,...

Painted in a beautiful baby blue
The sun,...

Hidden behind the arms of a tree
The tree is older then I am

and will outlive us all

Dark bark worn as skin

like scaly wrinkles 
Compacted along it's chest

It's arms reaching up and out

Always starving, and begging

for more sunlight

Blooming into a thousand colors

All shades of green

With yellows peaking out too

Light igniting their beauty 

With the highs and lows

With shadows and blossoms 

Grabbing, grasping, and breathing

every ray of sunlight

I can hear a bird...
far away singing a four note tune 

Over and over

Not sharp nor flat
Somewhere right above Middle C

and I'm stuck with my paper

and a pencil

Wondering how I could ever

describe a moment like this

to anyone...

Author's Note

It's really long, but the lines are really short :)

I love it! Nature is such a beautiful thing- I find it easy to write about because there is so much detail you can express, yet it is different every time. Fantastic poem!
