Down At the Old Homeplace

Apricot sunrise that changes Fast turning to gold Whispy angels' wings dot a blue sky Fog shawls the forest bold Coyotes yap yap in the woods One lone lookout crow caws As the roosters crow the sun up The sun wakes diamonds' awe A glistening dew caresses all; Lingers; kisses leaf and grass Pecan's silhouette dark design Crows caw increase with sass What a blessed morning 'pon the porch A helicopter whirrs Off at a distance, the sound of blades Close by birds voices stir Doves coo, crickets sound, birds chirp songs As stillness encases Not a breeze moves a leaf or twig Down at the old homeplace
