Change

The rain yesterday Changed the morning Fog rises from the creek Air is nice, moist, cool Dew drips from the caladiums That possess the window boxes Roosters sing cock-a-doodle-do In the far distance Birds chirp softly in the trees Water droplets drip from leaves On the pear trees Cats groom each other lovingly Sun peeking threw the clouds Casting a soft glow just Faintly showing light Gentle air movement Air touches moving caladiums In a slow sumba Drawing into a close presence With every living being With every inch of sunrise The sky changes Sun becomes goldenrod Casting its light on the black clouds Moving them with its presence And warmth; softly, slowly Inching it way into the day Changing every living thing Slowly leaving the other side Of the earth Joining forces with the moon Bringing night
