Emergence

Deep within the Mother of All vitality stirs
Awakening the genesis of creation’s passion
Transforming elemental strands of pattern
Migrating through golden flow toward outer core.

Transmuted anew by igneous influence
The power of creation entrained
Upon her loamy face
To enliven virgin seed once more.

Frosty mist warmed by golden radiance
Seeps nurture for expansion’s quest.
Scion emerging against gravity’s hold
Struggling for Helios’ embrace.

Unfolding blades respond in emerald deep
While slicing upward in protective pose.
As sensual hue and tint unfold
Blossoms beauty gloriously revealed.

An overcast day ends with a golden starburst over the Potomac River.

In this image you get a sense of the focus and stillness of the hunter along with beauty of its natural camouflage.
