Morning Rapture

The morning rapture begins to shine
The Earth’s colors deracinate
Delicate yellow rays dance upon the ebony wood
The extravagant emission of light surrounds the land
Green leaves caress each other in the wind
The restless pond engulfs the edge of the thicket
Its tides change as clouds pass by
Reflections sway in the water-mirror
Next to shadows of willow trees
Cascading into the cool water
Soft moss blankets the water’s perimeter
The potent radiance glistens upon the gushing water
The interlocking branches of the trees in the bustling forest
Are alive with chirping birds celebrating the glorious day
And squirrels exploring each curve of the trees
The glowing illumination ends its cycle
Darkness approaches and stars glitter a black canopy-sky
Nature settles into a quiet slumber

    What a beautiful image you've created with your words... You might want to change your title into "Morning Rapture" or something shorter because the title seems to be a bit too long... Your words were very descriptive and you provoked many senses in me... Thanks for a nice read

    excellent

    It didn't read as too forced to me, the imagery was good, so good in fact I could paint the picture clearly, like something out of time in total tranquility. Excellent write, you are very gifted, I enjoyed this very much and look forward to more if they are of this calibre.
