The Color of Beauty, By Jen Donier

The Color of Beauty
By Jen Donier, written Nov. 20, 2004
Dedicated to Yanni and his orchestra

Woven in Symphotic music, Painting the air
In artistic crescendo of sunsets melting
into oceanic waves

Weaving a tapestry of autumn color against
a cascading waterfall tumbling over moss covered
rocks and pooling in deep mystic shadow

whispered upon the wind as it caresses cedars
covered in winter laced snowfall, where snowbirds
huddle for warmth among the branches.

brushing through windswept desert sands
Kissing mountain peaks touched with golden sunlight

Gliding with sweet medley through forest glen
lifting an eagle as it spreads its wings

Heard in bird song and scent of rose upon night winds
catching a stag in stately pose

Sparkling through rainbowed water mists
from earth drenched rains after a thunderstorm

Color of beauty totally refined, soothing
mind, body and soul.

I was just given an award

This is the second round it has gone through and now is before a panel to determine if it among 33 finalist to see who the grand prize, first prize and second and third prize winners will be.
