Caprice

CAPRICE The day Starting slowly A faint trill In the woodwinds And the sun Oh the sun! Tints Those rose colored clouds So still Small and Shaped Yawning Still sleep drugged Then A breeze From somewhere On my cheek and In wonder In thought I rub my eyes The sentinels From on high Sing praise Unto the sky All is twiggy Woody Mid March And I Standing Atop an awakening Earth Dare I wish for But one last glimpse That this single moment Might never end
