Alchemist of Dawn

The bricks glitter
with passing snails,
in natures beauty
all else pales

The dew on the tips
spectacular at dawn,
fields like diamonds
glitter the morn

Rays of light
shoot in the sky,
mapping a course
in my left eye

The rivers breeze
caresses the trees,
tugging on leaves
watch their frieze

stillness surrounds
the red back hills,
everyone asleep
on last nights pills

A Kookaburra laughs
waking the dead,
shushing him I say
"You'll wake up Fred !"

Finally the sun
decides to arrive,
this is when I love
just to be alive 

These hours of alchemy
pass by me again,
can't wait for tomorrow
just to be in this Zen.
