July 13th
i woke up today
the dawn, hasty, has sudenly grown old
gone with its chill and sullen cold
and the day is already enthroned
its head with resplendent crown of the sun, adorned
while white egrets danced flipping and flapping
their outstretched wings in harmonious rhtym
like air-force cadets in inaugural flight
and trees and leaves radiant and jubilant
by the arousing caress of the breeze
sanguine cloud blue with patches of white above
july 13th! a great day to be alive
when i could see and seize the breeze
returning with good news from the sea
July 13th! it is a miracle to see and feel thee!!
