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
