Poetry

Golden Splendor

The rising sun saluting the sky

Rolls swiftly like a glowing ball

Across the august splendor

Of the awakening day

Drenched in the golden rays of the sun

Smearing the sky with morning glory

Caressing the half opened buds

Swinging with the tender breeze

The curdling waves rolling, swirling

Emitting a murmuring sound

As if whispering a secret

Then striking against the stony cliffs

And cutting its way ahead

With a resounding crash

Springing back and forth, flowing onwards

To meet and mingle with the delta into

Eternal splendor
