Life

Lovely is the dawn That starts my day of wonders Though fog blurs my view Waving in serene Moist grass dripping yet daring Then cast a shadow Flows the torrid rays From blazing sun at zenith Flowers blossom forth Behold fields and dale Yonder are the butterflies Flitting bough to bough Hawks soar high azure My flight never been as sure Lest I am inured Zephyr chills my skin Slowly engulfing within Fear better unknown Nimbus fills the sky Birds too reluctant too fly Befallen to try Rain but intervenes Eroding mountains so steep Wind keeps changing course Freezing dewy day Slumber amidst winter lease Frogs hibernate deep Bizarre lonely night Stars dimming as creatures rest Poets contemplate Waxing gibbous scares Only men with surreal thoughts As hounds howl at night Firefly still wanders Unmindful of deep darkness Man knows but regrets -written in 2008
