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.
