Can you picture it?

I will often write little things like this in my notes for school and this is one I wrote today. I liked it and thought I would share.

I can’t even think when I keep seeing these captivating scenes of Utah Lake in front of me. It is so gorgeous that words can’t describe and a picture won't capture. It is cloudy except for one area right above the distant mountains that is illuminated and it is reflective in the dark blue gray water on the ripples. There is a single beam of light that is brightest among the glow and with the haze of the surrounding clouds the mountains look painted with soft brush strokes. It almost looks like the entrance to heaven. It glows in a soft orange color and now I can begin to see the sun itself through a thick amount of clouds. It is a floating, glowing orb of radiance and the reflection on the water is even more captivating. The sun is going away now behind the mountains and the thick dark clouds are enveloping it. I capture one last glimpse of the sun as it leaves me for the day and its last bits of sunshine scatter across the once luminescent scene.

Oooh! LOVE the imagery! If everyone in Utah County saw their commute like you did there would be a lot less angry people driving to work in the morning. :)

Holy poetic. That was beautiful!

I never thought of the sun as "leaving" for the day, but you're right! It does! Every day we get to see the sun enter and leave the day is a blessing.
