The present

moderndayhippie (56) in poetry •  3 days ago

Every morning as I rise,
I say thank you to the universe as I open my eyes.
I lay in bed quietly appreciating this gift,
of life and love and the amazing relationship.
To everything, the universe and all that we are,
Even though I struggle to realize why we've come this far.
I feel as though we have lost sight of the goal,
it is only to be happy, productive and fruitful.
To give and to share and to help people out,
is really what lifes' greatest secret is all about.
So, I do my best to appreciate the signs,
the beauty in nature and the events that align.
But there is a gift that comes twice each day,
it's the universes way of saying everything is ok.
Once in the morning for you so you may rise,
and once in the evening to let you know it's ok to close your eyes.
The sunrise and sunset, the fire ball burning,
this world goes round n round and keeps on turning.
Tomorrow may never come so make everyday great,
because the past is behind you so its already to late.
Today is the gift that we have been sent,
that is why it is referred to as the present.

A sunrise worth watching

There is nothing quite like a beautiful sunrise to start the day! I never get tired of seeing good ones like this. It serves as a gentle reminder that we are but a small part of this incredible existence of energy that we truly have no understanding of.

There is something extremely soothing about sunrises and sunsets to me. I don't know exactly what it is, but I can remember being in Iraq (oif) and always taking the time to appreciate them whenever I could. It was as if for that short period of time everything in the world was alright. There was no more war or death, only a beauty for a brief moment before reality would set back in.

Truth is sunrises and sunsets are amazing everywhere in the world. Everyone can enjoy them for free and up to twice a day if your lucky! Unfortunately I feel less and less people appreciate them nowadays because they are "to busy with life." But what does that even mean? If you can't take 5 mins to appreciate this amazing view then you are not enjoying life at all. Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes everyday to enjoy the epic beauty of this world. Be grateful that you are alive and that the sun is shining , because there is no greater gift than to be alive and see this beautiful world come to life!

I hope you enjoyed these pictures, I took this morning from the top of a hill in the valley area in Arizona. I had to drive about 10 mins to get to this spot so I missed some of the reds that were way more bold initially when the sun started rising. I will try to be better prepared so that doesn't happen again, especially on mornings like this, but I am sure some of you know how it is to get caught up making trades on bittrex. lol.

Anyhow, I plan to post pictures of every good sunrise and sunset that I capture on camera so other people can start appreciate the universes' beauty more often as well. I truly believe that life is all about the things you can not hold in your hand, like a good sunrise, laughter, love, giving and sharing. So let me share these gorgeous photos with you! :)
