The Alaskan sunset photographs and poetry of Theresa Jodray
Kudzu Monthly Pictorial Feature

 

 

Sine qua non sun

Sine qua non sun sets down upon this land
Glorious grandeur written in Gods plan

Sleepily alluring, you lay down in space
Touching my heart with breathtaking grace

How awe struck to touch on this moment in time
To place on a photo of subliminal time

Siphoning light from off mothers land
Following instructions not put here by man

Subpoena for the moon, it is his time in court
Time clock to the universe of sorts

Gift from above to bring life anew
Giving earth much pleasure to the old and the new

Silhouette of light in the heavens above
Just a inkling of Gods shining love

Luminous heavenly body, staunch in the sky
I stand here in silence watching this occurrence pass by

Sine qua non sun sets down upon this land
Glorious grandeur written in Gods plan

Sleepily alluring, you lay down in space
Touching my heart with breathtaking grace

 

 

Crimson Sky

Crimson sky bleeds before me
Almost to set my soul on fire
With threats of red running
Down the day's end-horizon

Stark in appearance I feel
There is more within
You're glowing crimson color
As blood grows cold inside me

Screaming out in silence
You bring an end to my day
With a beauty that is ever
So haunting in appearance

Oh of the twilight that I talk
Of the vivid purplish red
That is bleeding slowly across the sky
Bringing forth a symphony of thoughts

Critical comment or judgement
This is not of such criticism
But to honor this sky as I do
As it creates a union with the earth

To crown the earth with this
Royal headdress of red
The finches dance about
Disturbing my view of your splendor

Crimson sky bleeds before me
Almost to set my soul on fire
With threats of red running
Down the day's end-horizon

 

 

Beautiful Sunday Glorious Day

Sienna sierra set before my weary eyes
Topped with the most sensuous skies
Fiery sunset ending my day
Beautiful Sunday glorious day

Tuck in the earth with your grand display
Taking sight with my camera then
Aiming at your majestic view
Makes my soul take flight feeling brand new

Shingles to the earth in many a hue
Greetings to the moon as a time clue
Shroud to the days passing his hours now through
Sighted can't help but homage then too

Crimson toned sun setting down into space
Leaving in such honor and wonderful grace
Pleasing to the spirit the colors above
Makes my heart sigh watching natures love

The peace of God spreads throughout the land
Watching would bring peace to the heart of any man
A rainbow of colors dancing all about
Makes the wolf throw his head back and shout

Sienna sierra set before my weary eyes
Topped with the most sensuous of skies
Fiery sunset ending my day
Beautiful Sunday glorious day

The photos accompanied by poetry exhibit much more than words can say. How can I capture (in words) the tears in my eyes, the lump in my throat and a wonderful sense of escape as I am drawn into each 'story?' Each piece is a work of art, filled with grace and joy. I am consumed by it and gladly.
