Moultrie Creek Winter Sunset

Better Viewed Large. Moultrie Creek just south of St Augustine, Fl about a block from my home. This is the municipal dock there at sunset. I love the warm colors of the winter sunset skies in Florida along with the soft light of early evening. The is a creek leading into the Inter Coastal Waterway that goes north and south all the way up the eastern coast of the US.

Creation Spoke to Me at Sunset

(James Watkins)

 

Creation spoke to me at sunset,

under canopy of fading sight,

in groves of winded whispers,

ancient oaks waiting for the night.

 

Sun-bathed clouds through

dazzling leaves,

dazed and dancing free-

brilliant evening glories,

rhymed in poignant harmony.

 

Sequined, fragranced beauties-

set in ocean dreams-

softly magnified by waters,

running slow to salty streams.

 

Lingering beside them,

to breathe the evening sea,

i listened to the placid voice

that feathered on the breeze.

 

“Remember what you see here-

do not forget this place-

write it on your memory-

do not let time erase”-

 

a victory won in silence-

as patience conquered haste-

foundation-ed now

in sacred soil,

solidified and safe.

 

Still delving deep through solid sod,

continuing to bend,

beneath the ground

it rooted down,

to build its strength again.

 

Did not begin to prosper,

until its hold was right-

then slowly grew in majesty,

upward to the light.

 

To flourish for

a thousand years,

before the sons of men-

and quietly tell its story,

to all that pass within.
