In Tune
I heard the Sun whispering,
“wake-up,”
into the ear of Nature
amid cheerful musical greetings
from avian performers,
and weary creatures stirred
paying homage to the first rays of
light.
A sauntering neighbor
with a grizzly disposition
sniffed the air
as wild blueberries nearby
captured by a ray of sunshine
shuddered, and coldly accepting their fate,
they were
overcame.
Chattering banter could be heard
as persnickety high-rise purveyors
eager to fill their larders
impatiently reminded all
that their stores were empty
darkness.
Further on, where
meandering streams converged
sharing fluid gossip,
spindly legged darlings
under adult supervision
timidly sipped refreshment
while admiring their yearling faces
and all was well.
