Dial Up the Sun

I  only tell of sunny hours...
 where rays of warmth embrace the flowers
 or melt the snow laying upon the lawn;
but these momentary shadows creep quietly soured
 casting light between the trees and fawns
 while industrious humanity, creation's spawn
is blinded to nature's rhythmic song
 and day light slips quickly along.
