A New Day
It was far later than dawn
Even past those pastel morns
Sun being up and light bright
Reveal all__no shadows__
The roosters had crowed before
Now were almost silent__still
Birds had quieted__just rare chirp
In distance__ machinery noise
As I got comfortable
Noticed herbs looked wilted__ drooped
Checked to see if dry but not
They are__ totally potbound
Life__how many people are
Stuck__complacent__not growing
Soon will die from starvation
Just live a boring__stuck life
Just one change__out of the rut
Going a different route___walk
Take a camera along
One change__life becomes new__ grand
