Daybreak

Dawn breaks and soon the light dilutes the dark, The lazy sun climbs high to make her mark. Her slow awakening, lighting up the sky, As tomtits flit and tweet their morning cry. The crouching pheasant colours dawns first breath And stealthily appears from night times death. The wood mouse noses from his hidden hollow As like the cock bird, knows, his time is borrowed. The roebuck hiding deep in dawns damp hue, Steps out, to graze, against a wall of blue. The sun continues warming winters grasp And bumbling badgers find repose at last.
