I knew I would find it somewhere

~

I drifted past the sunset

where horizons make their place

Imaginary lineage 

that artists love to trace

I saw the world illumined

in a shade of tangerine

Beyond the treelined silhouette

and shadows in between

I scaled a distant mountain

that was massive in its size

Where I could taste the altitude

amidst blueberry skies

When then I saw a sparrow

as it flitted on the wing

And followed it, just listening

in hopes that it would sing

It took me down a pathway,

round the bend and every turn

Then rested in an olive tree

beside a river fern

I bid farewell and strolled along,

directions heading west

For this I hoped would lead me too

my early morning quest

A squirrel danced above me 

in the branches of the trees,

A firefly then floated by,

like surfing on the breeze

I watched in endless wonder

as the world about me turned

Took little notes in scribbled thoughts

of all that I had learned

When up ahead I see a spark,

a tiny orb of gold

As half a day had come and gone,

if every truth be told

It seems I've found my treasure,

there it sits before my eyes

The one thing I've been searching for,

a beautiful sunrise

~

What a lovely journey you were on Will.
Perfect flow from one verse to the next like steps you were treading into another little scene to unfold.
Being alone with Mother Nature is the best thing ever...

Hey Hey What's Going On?? I Just Read A Great Poem!
This is a perfect narration and a perfect flow. I have been writing my own poems for a long time without paying much attention to them and I was very happy to see a poet who suddenly gave so much importance to them and chose his words carefully. I need to browse your profile a little more to get inspired. LOVED IT. ı would rate 1000 if it was possible

And a good morning to you Will. I loved following you along your early morning travels and enjoyed that blueberry sky and tangerine-shaded world. It's a trippy, delightful poem and one that can start anyone's day who reads it. I know it gave me a colorful feeling as I read.

Thanks for the share.
