The River's Edge
Transition from winter to spring occurs in artistic order,
Long nights of winter loosen their grip on darkness.
Frozen filaments of nature's monotone hues,
Morph into thawed shades of warmer colors;

The saturation of daybreak streams across a rocky terrain,
Like a river of color transforming the canyon's rim.
Nocturnal landscapes surrender to a surreal aura of morning fog,
Humid haze ascends from deep within the canyon;

An untouched canvas bears witness to a new day,
As spring's first sun rises in the east.
Below mountains of brightly colored foliage,
The serene still waters begin to ripple;

Swift currents make an approach to the river's edge,
Lifting from the river's banks, huge feathers signal retreat.
Sound of fluttering wings echo through the canyon,
Flock of birds now soaring high above canyon's rim.
