I wrote this on a whim after being inspired by a lovely photograph. It was taken by a fellow blogger... check him out on In Search Of A Greener Tomorrow.
The sun & the electric pole,
The light creeps upon the dark,
White gleam and yellow hue,
Oranges blend and fade.
Silent palms speak of life,
The tall wooden pole lifeless.
How rich are these colours,
So beautiful is God's creation.
This is the original unedited piece, and I propose to develop it further so stay tuned folks and have a blessed day.
