DAWN

DAWN
with cranberry and
salmon fingers, dawn, smiling
draws back the drapes
of darkness, her soft touch brings
daylight streams to life...
rising from troubled sleep
i stumble for my
cuppa chocolate coffee amaretto cream laced
wander to the deck
morning glories wink at me,
and california
poppies sing for the dance of
the monark butterflies as
they flit from blossom
to blossom with joy
and a meadow larks laughter
ripples across the valley
i awaken with delight...

I like Dawn for the quiet of it all. The coolness of the air, the smell of freshness at the start of the day and the aroma of the dark roast wafting from my cuppa. And next to me sits my good friend Buster with his bone sharing it all with me!
