Daybreak

Daybreak, the first light of this morn

Which reveals a few gray streaks

Then a flock of turkey vultures

Buzzards who probably reek


There is a stillness to the air

It seems strange and eerie

The buzzards add flare as they fly

No height gained as they flee


Mourning doves' coo adds a hollow tune

Their distant song somber

A cat bird in a near tree sings

Songs I can remember


Spring's sun seems to rise slowly

Casting pastel's soft tones

A nice beginning to this day

All the human senses honed


Now a delightful fuchsia shines

Upon morn's early sky

Also reveals thick silver fog

Down where bobcats lie


Sunday another senseless shooting

Anger carried too far

People need a touch of the Master

He'll erase all our scars


The One Who paints morn's pictures

the meadow's flowers fair

Just touch the hem of His garment

You'll find His healing there
