Gold On Grey

when sun illuminates sky’s winter grey
to cast a golden gleam on crystal sea
it raises spirits wrapped in warm dressed clothes
a treasure chest of jewels for all to see

like diamond dust that sparkles cluster bright
said gems a given gift to mesmerize
they can not fail to please it’s nature’s way
a feast for all with tired weary eyes

how lifting is the prize of dazzling light
a chance to watch the dance on salty waves
the rays are like a tonic sent to heal
escape from mindsets troubled darkest caves

how fine these moments are for us to hold
when breakers rolling in are kissed with gold

My spirits are lifted up after reading this poem. Nothing like an escape to Nature's arms from a certain mindsets and Grey life.
Enjoyed and overjoyed!

Lovely sonnet Chris, i do enjoy reading iambic pentameter it flows so beautifully .
The light , yes the light on water is something magical, it sweeps away depressing grey hues and brings a sparkle back to life .

Hi Stella, yes I have been busy too and still have jobs to do. It is so very cold. I think we might be having a log fire later:) Have yourself a nice rest. :)

Do you remember Pot Black a snooker tournament with Eddie Charlton, Ray Reardon back in the seventies I think.

[Stella Armour]

I do indeed because my dad won cups for snooker and billiards , but at that time my main interest was looking after the 3 children i had in just over 5 years ( nightmare).He also played crown ngreen bowls and often took me to watch matches . He died in 73 but after my family had all left home i took it up also and i won cups... he would have been so proud.
