Leaves At Dawn

Leaves at Dawn 

Leaves at dawn show off 
dark silvery sparkling charms,
like chandelier earrings dripping
with diamond dew drops.

In shifting shadows, leaves at dawn
silently contemplate sneaky spiders scurrying
from leaf to leaf, craftily spinning and weaving
widespread webs, hoping to trap a tasty treat.
 
A wee bit weary from blowing to and fro
in the cool night wind, leaves at dawn faintly quiver,
deeply inhaling and exhaling, relishing their own brand
of nature’s musky wild woodsy perfume.

Delightfully dizzy, leaves at dawn are still 
drowsy and dreamy until gently awakened 
by the enchanting kiss 
of the sweet, warm early morning sun.
