Early morn
Two wide-set yellow eyes
Peek through cobalt blue
Remnants of last night's rain
Wonderful water for all the plants and animals
Across the way
Four lovely cedars or Cyprus stand
Like sentinels guarding the road
Lovely silvery green shines
Washed and still wet with rain
Two mockingbirds
Sing so joyfuly one to my left
The other one to my right
I wonder what they are discussing
Responsibilities of parenthood or politics
The clouds
Seem to be dissipating
Or the sun has risen higher or a little of both
I am wondering if there will be more rain today or will last night's shower
Be all that we get, of course, we could use a little more
Soaking up
The cool, damp, quiet
The small amount of the morn that I can enjoy
Out on the porch
Each second so precious
Close my eyes
Listen carefully
Perhaps I can catch
An elusive susurrus of nature to carry through the day
Filled with positive emotions, help me make it God
