Marmalade Skies

~Marmalade skies~

one spoon at a time they feed 
the morning horizon
Soft offerings of color
picked ripe from the vine

~Cantaloupe dreams~ 

a small slice of moon
the dawn’s crescent smiles on me
with a Cheshire grin
cocked slightly to the side

~Plum pudding blankets~

suspended above life, moving slowly
but coming of the day
as alarms break the solitude
nestled in down feather pillows

~Raspberry whispers~

singing the scent
of the fresh sunrise dew
on wishes coated in sparkling splendor
and footprints beyond the gate

~Nectarine blessings~

sweet on my lips
beneath an orchard arbor
I hold you close to my morning
and taste the bounty of your love

Good morning Soupers
