Day 27 – American sonnet

Beauty beholden

What beauty has my heart beholden today?

Contoured horizons of fir rich hills,

Baby-green flora in budding Spring growth

and the giggles of families out in sun-kissed April.

The beauty of frescos on medieval church walls,

The fragrance of hawthorn and freshly mown grass,

The joy of reunion in the eyes of an old friend

and the panoramic view of an orange sun sinking through a peach-melba sky.

The beauty of meeting a stranger’s selfless heart

and the wonder of understanding when trust fills its part.

And what beauty beheld my eyes at the close of this glorious day?

A platter of tasty delicacies to welcome this hungry traveler.

The view
