Golden Wings

Night time ends it’s reign of terror
animals come out to play
the bite is taken off the winters chill
the song birds greet the day
sleep is rubbed from morning eyes
hot coffee fills the air
a stillness almost holy
a quiet soft and rare
as the morning glows to red
the song bird really sings
to welcome the sun as it crests the horizon
on it’s golden wings.

This is so lovely. I have just returned from a holiday in Scotland and it was brilliant; the coffe was great and the migrating birds, outstanding. Thanks for the very nice comments you made about my poem. Robert
